Re: [jbosstools-dev] Version alignment completed - now you got the power and responsibility! :)
So, you want to start having component owners use this right before
GA
to drop the -SNAPSHOT qualifier, then right after GA to bump everything
up in one shot?
Not going that far yet - but that is what everyone else is doing for releases in JBoss.
I'd argue that this is only useful once a year
This is not true and and assumption I want to change.
You bump your versions at every release - and for a stream that until now have meant
bumping it 2 to 3 times a year.
Once we go to having a proper/real release train out for supporting SOA tooling split -
this becomes even more important;
relying on a timestamp difference is simply not acceptable/enough.
, when we start the new
year's release and need to push everything up from 3.6.x to
3.7.0-SNAPSHOT. Otherwise it's better to just upversion plugins and
features THAT ACTUALLY CHANGE,
This is what this allow - each module that actually does changes bump their
plugins/features.
Until now we have worked with the rule: Change what actually changes - but I can tell you
now after having
gone through every plugin *very few* of the plugins and features have actually been
versioned properly.
Thus if the svn history speaks truly - many features and some features haven't been
bumped a single digit for years
even though they had plenty of changes.
The qualifier at the same time saved us but also hides the problem.
and that dropping the suffix is bad from
an osgi/p2 installable point of view (and also because you lose the M2
suffix so that QE knows for which milestone a given build is targeted).
I did not say to remove the qualifier.
I would love we eventually could use the API generated qualifiers instead of timestamp
though - but I know that
won't happen before tycho supports that notion.
