[seam-dev] Releases of Seam 2.0 for JBoss AS 5

[Pete Muir]

People,

As AS5 CR1 is due to come out soon, and Seam is (again) not working  
right, we are going to need to do a release of the 2.0 branch so we  
have a compatible release.

Stan has asked for release before/when AS5 CR1 is out, but we may well  
end up having to do a Seam 2.0.3.CR2 once AS5 CR1 is out which  
accounts for last minute changes in the AS5 codebase [1]. I guess less  
work for us would be to test right up to the last minute with Seam_2_0  
head, then put a tag in once the AS5 CR1 tag is in. Our release  
process takes around 2 - 3 days, how long is the AS release process?  
Will this fit timewise, Stan?

Stan, do you think this sounds sensible? Do you know what the time lag  
between AS5 CR releases is going to be? i.e. do we then move Seam  
2.0.3 to GA straight away, or do we hang around waiting for AS 5 GA.

Jay, can you fit this into your schedule?

Thanks,

[1] the problem that bit us last time is that we had Seam working a  
couple of days before the tag, but some last minute change broke it.
