Indeed but that makes the script a little more complicated. > Could our release procedure include popping the released version > number into a file somewhere like WEBROOT/version.txt? Sure. If the folks here can agree on a file format then it can certainly be created and maintained. Some things to keep in mind: There are typically 3 major versions in development at any one time. Currently it is 6.0.x, 7.0.x and 8.0.x. That will probably increase to 4 for the first few 9.0.x releases. We have RCs, alphas, beta and stable releases. milestone releases have also been discussed. During the early days of a new major version there may well be an older beta release as well as a newer alpha release available (we make the most recent and the most stable & recent release so you could have 8.0.1.beta and 8.0.2.alpha) We might release 8.1.x along side 8.0.x for a while (the same goes for any major version). Whatever scheme is devised, it needs to handle all of these possibilities and the few I am sure I have forgotten. > > -chris > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
