[infinispan-dev] SNAPSHOT dependencies on protostream

[Mircea Markus]

Hi,

Whilst having dependencies on SNAPSHOT is not generally good, we do allow SNAPSHOT dependencies between our own components: e.g. cache stores' upstream depend on an SNAPSHOT of Infinispan core. I think the rule should still apply for protostream, i.e. on master, the query should be allowed to depend on protostream-SNAPSHOT, assuming protostream doesn't have external SNAPSHOT dependencies (it doesn't). Otherwise we end up releasing a new protostream whenever e.g. a bug gets fixed and query needs it - way too often.

Of course we shouldn't allow any SNAPSHOT dependencies during the release.

Cheers,
