[orbit-dev] Fw: Desire for Ganymede SR1 maintenance release of Orbit bun

[David M Williams <david_williams@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I was wondering why no one at all responded
to my note ... now I see through the magic of auto-completion I sent it
to "orbit-dev-owner", who ever that is. 

Most of the original note still applies:
 I would still like to declare one maintenance "release"
on August 6th ... that's Wednesday of this week! ... with just the one
difference in the axis bundle (to make ant optional). 

Sorry for the short notice, and if anyone
objects for that reason, let us know. 

I did, though, not hearing a response
about if the ant changes were desired in maintenance (not knowing then
that I'd sent to the wrong address), 
create a maintenance branch of the map
files. 
It is called Ganymede_maintenance (modeled
after the previous Europa_maintence release, except I spelled maintenance
correctly this time :) 

So ... anyone else need maintenance
for SR1? 
Any objections to a "mini"
maintenance release August 6? (And, the SR1 maintenance be about a month
or 6 weeks later, if anyone needs other changes for the coordinated maintenance
release). 

Thanks,

Orbit committers, 

I'd like to get create an Orbit maintenance
release, so I can fix bug 241723 (in WTP, and other
users of the axis bundle would need to use maintenance release as well,
to be consistent). 

Are there any other needs for a maintenance release? 

The only change so far, has been for the ant bundles (changes
to the existing 1.6 and 1.7). Any chance those are needed in a maintenance
release too? 

If those are _not_ desired to be updated in maintenance,
then I'll branch the map files, where we can update only exactly what we
want to be different in maintenance release as leave the rest as it was
for the Ganymede release. 

Now for the complication ... we in WTP are doing an early
maintenance release, in mid-August, so I'd like to plan for an early maintenance
release of Orbit ... say August 6th? (that's a Wednesday). 

Of course, we in WTP are also contributing to the simultaneous
release in September, and we could also do another maintenance of Orbit
then, if required. 

Any objections? comments? 

thanks,
