AIUI Vert.x is an Eclipse project and we consume artifacts from Maven Central as part of our build. Is this wrong? All the dependencies have been IP checked so I don't see why this is an issue.Strictly speaking... yes, it's wrong, and I think that I explained why. If you don't agree with my reasoning, we can use that as a basis for discussion. I don't want this to be show-stopper. If the artefacts that get consumed in a build are *exactly* the same as what has been IP checked and approved, and you are absolutely certain that there is no risk of any unapproved artefacts sneaking into the build, then we can consider this an invalid intermediate state for the time being. As we move forward, we need to either get Vert.x building against the Eclipse Foundation-hosted Maven instance, or put the necessary energy into convincing the IP Team that building against Maven is acceptable (I'll need the PMC's assistance with the latter option). FWIW, Thanh Ha can help you with the build (e.g. if there are required artefacts missing from our Maven instance. or POMs need to be updated). Well.. this is the thing. The way we do releases is we try to do a release every 4-6 weeks. There are no "special themes" for releases. It just contains the next lot of stuff that is on the TODO list, which can be seen in Bugzilla. Some weeks we might two releases in a week.There is another option. A service release does not require review. This would apply if you are not adding significant new functionality. If the release really just contains a bunch of bug fixes, you can simply create a release record, check the "service release" option, and push out your bits. Service releases tend to increase the third-segment in the version number (e.g. 2.1.1), though there is no hard requirement for this. If you do add API, or make other significant functionality changes, however, a full release and review is required. As Mike stated earlier, we are game to review all of our processes. I look to the RT PMC for guidance. Wayne --
