Re: [ee4j-pmc] Release process

Looks like the wrong "community" mailing list was being used in this string, so I'll correct that to the Jakarta EE Community to give a wider distribution.  I will also copy in the Jersey Dev mailing list to let them know that they are part of this discussion...  :-)

Hi Christian,
The
Project Handbookindicates that a successful release review allows a project to distribute new major or minor releases for up to one year:

"
A project team may declare official major or minor releases and distribute associated products for up to one year following a successful release or progress review. Reviews are not required for bug-fix/service releases."

So, based on that, the Jersey project was okay with their 2.29 and 2.29.1 releases, but the 2.30 release needs to have a successful release review.  The project seems to be in a state of flux since the 2.30 release is not officially marked as a public release yet in github...  
https://github.com/eclipse-ee4j/jersey/releases.  There is a tag for it, but not a release...

Bottom line, Christian, I think your understanding is correct and Jersey needs to tidy things up a bit.  We do have to remember that the Eclispe processes are new to most of us, so there will be some hiccups along the way while we all get our feet wet.  Thanks!

I am not an expert on the process so I could be wrong but my understanding is that once a project has a successful release review it can make further releases for a year without a formal review. I assume a release record is still required though but Wayne or Ivar can correct me.

 

I just googled and this blog seems to also say the same https://blogs.eclipse.org/post/wayne-beaton/progress-and-release-reviews

[ee4j-pmc] Release process

 

Hi all,

 

I'm currently working on the first Eclipse Krazo release. As this is our first release under the umbrella of the EE4J project, I would like to ask a few questions about the process, especially regarding release reviews.

 

I just checked the project site of Eclipse Jersey, because I was interested to see how other projects are doing it. Eclipse Jersey published versions like 2.28, 2.29 or 2.29.1. So it looks like they are following the "major.minor" and "major.minor.patch" versioning scheme. The Eclipse Project Handbook states:

 

All major and minor releases require a review. Service releases [...] do not require a review.

 

There was a release review for the 2.28 release. That's fine. But there wasn't one for the 2.29 release. But isn't this required for a non-service release? There is also only an IP Log for 2.28but not for 2.29.

 

Also, Eclipse Jersey released 2.30 a few days ago and the release is already available in Maven Central. However, there isn't any entry for 2.30 in the "Latest Releases" table on the Jersey project site. So it looks like there isn't any release plan and also no release review for 2.30.

 

Am I missing something here?

 

Christian
