[incubation] rdf4j first milestone release - couple of questions
|
hi,
The technology.rdf4j incubation project is at the point where, technically,
we're about ready to do our first release. However, since we're still in
incubation (and parallel IP review is ongoing) we must take babysteps, and
instead of a "full" release do a Milestone release instead.
Now as said, technically the code is in a good enough state to do this. Where I
have some questions and can use some confirmation is everything surrounding this
first milestone.
First of all: it is my understanding that for a milestone release such as we
want to do, no full release review is necessary. Is that correct?
Second, I know that I need a 'release plan' in place. In fact I've already
created a simple one:
https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/technology.rdf4j/releases/2.0
However from what I understand this is intended for "proper" releases (i.e. once
we come out of incubation). So should I already have this up and complete for
this milestone build already - and what should be in it, precisely? This release
is rather boring as it just is feature-equal to the last release we did under
our old project name. Also, not sure how I add issues to this plan: it seems to
assume we use Bugzilla rather than GitHub issues.
Third: I know we need to keep an IP Log and of course we have one here:
https://www.eclipse.org/projects/ip_log.php?projectid=technology.rdf4j
Do I need to do anything with this at this point? I know it's normally part of
the release review so I assume that it's not necessary to submit for a milestone
build, but I thought I'd check.
Anything else I overlooked? Ideally we'd like to push this build out the door in
the next week or so, but of course if a review is necessary then we can postpone
a little longer.
Kind regards,
Jeen
PS in case you're wondering: our first release uses version 2.0, not 1.0,
because we plan to do a "backport" to Java 7 later and release that as 1.0.
