Based on the good progress on the TCK frontier we now target Sep/15th to be the release date for AS5 CR2. To get there in the remaining 2 weeks, we need to satisfy the following criteria: ------------- 1) Complete the TCK (almost there!). If you have tasks assigned to you in JBCTS jira this is 1st priority: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBCTS ------------- 2) Be over with any remaining component updates. Except for a jboss-remoting 2.4.0.SP2 (ron), needed to overcome a memory leak (JBAS-5844), all the other updates linked from JBAS-5122 are there to get us from a Beta to a CR level: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBAS-5122 We are expecting CRs for: jboss-managed/metatype (scott) jboss-vfs (ales) jboss-deployers (ales) jboss-microcontainer (ales) jboss-reflect (ales) jboss-mdr (ales) jboss-classloading (scott) jboss-metadata (alexey) jboss-aspects (andrew) ejb3 (carlo) Ales is away this week, so if Adrian could help with the mc* releases that would be great. If you intend to keep your components at Beta level for ever, then be kind enough to comment on the JIRAs and move them to some future release (e.g. move the parent to JBAS-5597). ------------- 3) Help get the testsuite passing: http://hudson.qa.jboss.com/hudson/view/JBoss%20AS/job/JBoss-AS-5.0.x-Test... All the AS5-testsuites are erroneously reported as failed, although the results are perfectly ok: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBAS-5918 (aleksandar) We have some long running failures that need to be looked at: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBAS-4644 (anil) https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBAS-5054 (anil) Mem leak waiting on jboss-remoting upgrade: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBAS-5252 (andrew/ron) Annoying test failing only on hudsons: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBAS-5866 (jesper) testScopedXalanDeployment probably related to deployer changes https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBAS-5920 clustering related failures https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBAS-5907 (brian) We have a few transient failures that come and go most prominent being the profile service tests pass and fail almost randomly: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBAS-5625 (scott) ------------- 4) Cleanup remaining JIRAs As always, important tasks should be marked blockers/critical. Anything else I'll go ahead and reschedule at will, if you don't do so. Some useful JIRA filters for AS5 CR2: Issues assigned to you https://jira.jboss.org/jira/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?mode=hide&requ... Issues reported by you https://jira.jboss.org/jira/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?mode=hide&requ... Issues unassigned https://jira.jboss.org/jira/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?mode=hide&requ... ------------ An overall comment is that things look good, so please think and test twice before making commits and do monitor subsequent hudson runs to see if you've broken anything. To make the Sep/15th date we'll need to have a code freeze around the 10th; I'll keep you updated. Thanks for your help and let me know if you have any issues. Cheers /Dimitris
