It is not a small issue, but it would be an issue for everybody actually trying
to parse the doap file. Could we at least make it consistent internally (at the
moment, it is solr-4.3 but solr-4.9.0). I still think x.y.z is better,
otherwise, we should also have 5, not 5.0 for consistency.
I know it is a nitpicking, but I write the parsing tools and these things are
disproportionally annoying and confusing. I am happy to do the change myself to
normalize to x.y.z, if you don't mind.

The problem is that *people* think of them as interchangeable, regardless of
programmatic "inconsistency", and though you may normalize them up through
today, a future release manager *will* generate more "inconsistencies". Better
to teach the programs to understand the humans than vice versa. Do you really
want to spend time arguing with people in the future about how they have to
have the right number of trailing zeros in all the places they record release
numbers? I know I don't.

> Currently changes-to-html pulls release dates from JIRA, and so fails when
> JIRA is inaccessible (e.g. from behind a firewall).
> SOLR-9711 advocates adding a build sysprop to ignore JIRA connection
> failures, but I'd rather make the operation always offline.
> In an offline discussion, [~hossman] advocated moving Lucene's and Solr's
> {{doap.rdf}} files, which contain all of the release dates that the
> changes-to-html now pulls from JIRA, from the CMS Subversion repository
> (downloadable from the website at http://lucene.apache.org/core/doap.rdf and
> http://lucene.apache.org/solr/doap.rdf) to the Lucene/Solr git repository. If
> we did that, then the process could be entirely offline if release dates were
> taken from the local {{doap.rdf}} files instead of downloaded from JIRA.
