[VOTE] [BRANCH] Creation of the Release Branch "release10.04"

[Jacopo Cappellato-4]

This is the vote thread to create a new release branch (not a release yet) named "release10.04".
This branch will represent a feature freeze and releases will be created over time out of it: all the commits in this  branch will be for bug fixes only, no new features.

Vote:

[ +1] create the branch "release10.04"
[ -1] do not create the branch

We will use the same rules for votes on releases (vote passes if there are more binding +1 than -1 and if there are at least 3 binding +1)
For more details about this process please read this http://www.apache.org/foundation/voting.html

Kind Regards,

Jacopo

P.S. Quick, get your foot in the door! Throw in buggy stuff while you have a chance... you can commit bug fixes later but not new features. ;)

P.P.S. Sorry, I couldn't resist. I'm becoming obsessed with looking at rule systems and guessing at behavior people will use to game the system.

This is actually a very good point and it will be interesting to see what happens. In general, I like simple and natural rules, especially when there is an opportunity to discuss (and possibly "blend" them in special circumstances).
The most interesting part, as you mention, is to see how the rules are
It could even result to be a good thing: if committers will push stuff into the trunk right before the release branch, even if it is buggy stuff (to all: hey, please, do not exaggerate!) it means that committers are interested in the release branch and so they will most likely take care of "fixing" or at least maintaining their stuff in the release branch.
Also, now that we are defining a rather standard approach to releases I think it will be easier to call a vote for a new releases (even if it is out of our tentative plan to create a branch per year), and the majority will decide by vote... maybe this will (but I am just dreaming) end up with a more community driven release strategy, where the community will determine the release branches that are of interests and the ones that are not.

Kind regards,

Jacopo

You must be thinking of a different community. We only commit
high-quality code that has been thoroughly tested.

favoritest word.

I think you're right Jacopo. This hasn't been a problem in the past (that I've noticed anyway), and if it was a problem it would be a good problem to have.
