Re: [rt-pmc] ECF review slides
|
Hi Tom and Jeff,
RE: the default versioning scheme. I'm not sure whether we're going to
have a major version change in 2010 or not. I think this is a tricky
decision for us, as we have parts of ECF that are now depended upon by
the platform (core and file transfer)...and clearly breaking changes
should not/have not/will not be made there, but OTOH, we have parts of
ECF that may need to introduce breaking changes (e.g. to deal with
RFC119 changes). I'm not sure how this should/can 'bubble' up to the
project-level version change.
So although I can/will commit to not having breaking API changes for the
parts of ECF that are contributed to the platform, I don't think it
makes sense to do this uniformly...as there are other parts of ECF that
'want' to move faster/focus more on innovation.
Any further thoughts appreciated. I don't know what the versioning
will be for ECF in the next simultaneous release, but I'll just leave it
open until we have some discussion about it.

I echo Tom's comments. Slides look good but N+1 should not be the
default versioning scheme. People need some level of stability.

My only comment is on the future plans for ECF 4.0. Do you have a
major release each year with a major version increase? Do you always
anticipate on making breaking changes for each yearly release? My
concern is for the ECF bundles which are now part of the Equinox
release. Down in the core platform we tend to keep the major version
of our bundles for many releases. I am wondering how much breaking
changes we should anticipate in our dependencies on ECF.
This comment should not hold up your submission of the slides.
