As there is no objection since last week, let's go for an IvyDE release ! As suggested by Xavier, I vonlonteer to be the release manager. Marteen raised a question about the name of the release. For me, "alpha" means "release that developers know it to be unstable" and "beta" is for "developers think it has minor bugs but is stable, then let's the users test it". For me it is unstable, mainly due to IVYDE-82 and currently I saw that IVYDE-54 can freaks out Eclipse. So I vote for "alpha". Then about the release, in order to follow the Apache guidelines, some work need to be done about packaging the source of IvyDE. I will look about how the sources are usually packaged for the Eclipse plugins. We should probably have different kind of packaging: the source got from an updatesite, and the full sources which also contains the build system. We will also probably need an Apache Ivy updatsite. For the few tests I have done with my own one, it is not working properly, updates are not detected... Some investigation will be needed here too. About the documentation, I have finished migrating the IvyDE website, so now there is the "history" category, like the Ivy site. I think we should publish it as soon as we get an IvyDE release adopted. WDYT ? And the documentation in the binary distribution. Could a simple link to the website be enought ? Or should we push the html doc into the zip ? In the Apache doc, I can read: > If svn:externals is used, check carefully that a tag is referenced. This ensure that all the source for the release is fixed. If the target of a svn:externals changes then the release will no longer be complete reproducible. So shouldn't xooki be released somehow ? Does anybody see any other points that need to be addressed before starting to build a release ?
