What is the difference between "simultaneous release" and "bundle a set of
compatible modules" ?
I think what Pete is implying is that the modules don't have to be releasing at that
time (or should not hold out the released until that date). Instead, we take what is
stable at the time (pushing a release if absolutely necessary to integrate well) and then
cut the bundle. But, to be honest, we're still in the process of establishing a
strategy ;)
Sure, and this is actually also what eclipse "simultaneous release" means - some
projects release several times, some only at that time; but all are keeping an eye on that
1 a year big release and additional 2 bugfix releases to make sure their stuff gets done
for it. in other words - without a planned "big" release nothing would actually
work together ;)
