Re: [rt-pmc] Gemini subproject situation
|
Just to be clear this has little to do with OSGi and more to do with what
we consider a release and the rules we setup for versioning releases.
If I understand things correctly gemini naming has never had a true
release. They simply made a milestone available (1.0 M1). My point is
until a true release is done you can do what you want with the actual
version. So if gemini naming wants to release something from the incubator
project gemini naming I think it is acceptable to make that release 0.9
because the 1.0 M1 was not a true release and the version is always subject
to change until the first true release.

o.O
what exactly does anyone gain from having something named
0.9.0.v201201180815 over 1.0.0.M1
is there some super sekrit special powers granted on osgi land? its a
jar file...I don't see the distinction of M1 vs v201201180815 for
anything other then political reasons, if the M1 just needs signed
then make an M2 and sign it...we run our M and RC releases through the
signing process for our p2 repos
anyway, probably safe to ignore my thoughts and go with what tom says
then, he is the master in these things :)
cheers,
jesse
