Adding a couple of points I left out:
1) Include in the [VOTE] the provision that future TC 3.3 releases are governed by the TC 4/5 release-then-vote-on-status model. It is likely that future releases are going to be just security-related, so streamlining is good :).
This conflicts with the next point - if tomcat 3.3 is no longer developed, there is no need to use the TC5 model.
2) I really don't have any itches left with TC 3.3. While I'm more than happy to continue supporting it, should we formally announce 3.3.2 as an EOL release? I'm, personally -0.
I think we should formally announce that all future enhancements will happen in TC5, and TC3 and TC4 are considered "stable", with only security and major fixes going in.
I don't like the "EOL" term in an open source context - Linux 2.4 is not "EOL", neither is 2.2.
I don't know what term did they use for Apache1.3, if the httpd pmc used "EOL" then probably we could do the same, but otherwise I'm -1.

Subject: [PROPOSAL] Release the HEAD of j-t as Tomcat 3.3.2
It has been a long time since the 3.3.1 release, and there are several important bug fixes in the CVS. Therefore, I'm proposing cutting a 3.3.2 release with myself as RM (although I'll step aside if Larry really wants the job :).
Time Line: This proposal will run until Thursday, Feb 12 (I was going to do Friday, until I noticed that the date was the 13th :) 6:00 PM PDT. At that point
it
will become a [VOTE] that will last until Thursday, Feb 19 6:00 PM PDT.
If
the [VOTE] passes with 3 PMC +1s and no -1s and the enhancements below are complete (with the possible exception of licensing), then we cut a
3.3.2-RC1
release. I don't see that it is likely that we have any major
regressions,
so I don't see the need for a Beta. I propose to leave RC1 out for two weeks until Friday, Mar 5 (March 4th isn't good for me). At that point we cut a 3.3.2 release.
Packaging Changes: I propose that we no longer ship src/native with the src distro (unless
it
is too hard to modify Larry's scripts, in which case we include a
do-not-use
in the release notes). I'd also like to include the commons-daemon procrun/w and jsvc (source) with the release, similar to TC 5. Also I'd like to make the CoyoteConnector2 (possible renamed to CoyoteConnector :) the default connector in server.xml. We can add a note to use the old Connectors for people that can't use Java2.
Code Changes: 1) I'd like to add a blocking option to o.a.t.startup.Main (e.g.
'startb')
so that 3.3 can be used with procrun. Also make sure that the init/start/stop/destroy semantics are there for jsvc. 2) Add fix for Bug #8643 (allow to specify alternate module.xml files) 3) Port the requestURI encoding fixes for TC 4/5 (although, I believe
that
this is on DecodeInterceptor, instead of the Connector). 4) Update license to Apache-2.0 (non-negotiable, with a March release
date
:).
Bugs: Several of the LATER bugs have been already fixed, so mark them as such.
Of
the remaining 18 open bugs, they will be marked as one of INVALID/FIXED/WORKSFORME/LATER.
