Dear MonetDB developers, thank you very much for your patience and cooperation! Once you've read the IMPORTANT NOTES below, you're free welcome to check in, again. - Created "Stable" branches for the upcoming release: package branch-name ----------------------- (on SourceForge) buildtools MonetDB_1-20 MonetDB MonetDB_1-20 clients Clients_1-20 MonetDB4 MonetDB_4-20 MonetDB5 MonetDB_5-2 pathfinder XQuery_0-20 sql SQL_2-20 template MonetDB_1-20 (CWI internally) TestTools MonetDB_1-20 monetweb Stable_2007-09-18 - Increased version numbers and set configure details IMPORTANT NOTES: 1) As usually, as of NOW, a) ALL bug fixes (and ONLY those) MUST be checked in to the above release branches (and ONLY there)! b) ALL new features (and ONLY those) MUST be checked in to the development trunk (HEAD) (and ONLY there)! (In case you need assistance please feel free to contact MonetDB-developers@lists.sourceforge.net .) Until different notice, any propagation of bug-fixes from the release branches to the respective development trunks will be controlled by Sjoerd, only, i.e., noone else is supposed to do any propagation, unless Sjoerd explicitly allowed such propagation. Obviously, Sjoerd may ask for assistance. Propagation from the development trunks to the release branches does not exist. 2) At CWI, all changes for the web site that are supposed to be put online with the upcoming release must be checked in to the "Stable_2007-09-18" branch of "monetweb". As of tomorrow morning (once nightly Stable testing has finished) this branch will be used to build the pre-view web site on koala. (Until the actual release, the life web site will remain being built from the "Stable_Mars" branch of "monetweb".) Stefan On Tue, Sep 18, 2007 at 04:33:01PM +0200, Stefan Manegold wrote:

Dear MonetDB developers,

Sjoerd and I are busy preparing for the upcoming release. The next step will be to create the new release branches.

To ensure a smooth progress of the next step(s), and to avoid conflicts, we kindly ask you to

refrain from ANY checkins to ANY MonetDB CVS repositories as of NOW

until we notify you that checkins are allowed, again.

Thank you very much for your cooperation!

Stefan
