Regarding the website:

1. do we keep the 16.11 listed there as the stable release branch and
add 17.12?

2. the repository path for 16.11 is wrong on the current website

Michael

Yes, until we release 17.12

> and add 17.12?
No, because 17.12 does not exist yet for users, it's only a freezed version of the trunk (if I can say so)

But that page is not the download page, in which only official releases are
published; the page we are talking about is the ones that lists our source
repositories, including the trunk and so we should definitely add to it the
new branches.

Thanks Deepak,

I noticed we miss a link to the Subversion config file in this page.

But we were actually only missing

global-ignores = *.o *.lo *.la #*# .*.orig *.orig .*.rej *.rej .*~ *~ .#* *.bak *.class .DS_Store

in OFBiz repo branch. So I just set it and will remove the section about the the Subversion config file in this page.

In other words, committers no longer need to worry about adding this file on their local machine.

They though can still refer to it for feature not set in the OFBiz repo branch.

Jacques
PS: this is a WIP and I'll maybe need to put back the specific client global-ignores, seems that, though inherited (I view them), setting .git .gradle
and build does not work:

C:\projectsASF\ofbiz>svn st
?       .gradle
?       build

Hi Deepak, All,

It seems to me that

$ svn co http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/ofbiz/ofbiz-plugins/branches/release17.12 ofbiz-plugins

is maybe not the best name we could use. Because when the next branch will be created we will have to rename. So I propose

$ svn co http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/ofbiz/ofbiz-plugins/branches/release17.12 release17.12-plugins

That's it's only a convention and users can use what they want, but better to use a right convention from start ;)

What do you think?

Jacques

BTW I notice that so fat we used ofbiz.16.11 so maybe we could continue to follow this convention and have

ofbiz.17.12 and ofbiz.17.12-plugins

If nobody is against I'll do so in few days
