Re: [emf-dev] Bugzilla Milestones for Maintenance Release

Hi, Ed,

I guess one problem that we have is that we don't have uniformity in release numbers.

Is that something that we should change?  It needn't have any correlation to plug-in/feature version numbers, but then that would be confusing.

Nick,

I never use these darned things anyway, but somehow this doesn't have much appeal... There's a lot to be said for uniformity across projects...

Re: [emf-dev] Bugzilla Milestones for Maintenance Release

For something completely different, instead of 1.2.0M5, 1.0.0RC2, and
2.4.0M7 (lots of duplicate targets because of disparate versions every
year), and all the .0, .1, .2 variations), how about something more
coordinated release friendly, and chronological?

200709 Ganymede M2
...
200805 Ganymede M7
200805 Ganymede RC1
...
200806 Ganymede Release
200807 IO M2
...
200809 Ganymede Update 1
...
200902 IO M5
200902 Ganymede Update 2
...

This would also be cleaner than what MDT has as far as its "1.1" project
release which includes ocl 1.2, uml2 2.2, uml2 tools 0.8, xsd 2.4, etc.

But as with most things, I'm easily swayed by the majority rule. :)

Thoughts?

(BTW, that 1.0.1 is historical because of QTV's Callisto release-- it
wasn't added recently for advanced scheduling.)
