@jpmckinney: I believe the intent is to abandon v6.x-2.x, so I'm not sure if those will get any attention? Do those problems exist in v6.x-1.x?

jpmckinney’s picture

The intent is to make one more release of 6.x-2.x, and then freeze it. Almost any bug in 6.x-2.x exists in 7.x, and many exist in 6.x-1.x too. It would be imprudent to ignore an issue just because it's tagged 6.x-2.x. I've been going through the 2.x queue and either retagging issues 1.x or 7.x or closing them. The two issues I've linked to in #2, however, are 6.x-2.x only. Given the massive number of issues I've closed, I'd appreciate it anyone could review those two.

Indeed, it is important to note that 6.x-2.x was the base of 7.x-1.x and (I think) will be the base of 6.x-3.x. Its experimental features may be abandoned, but as a branch it is the basis of all current work.

Yes, James point is #5 I wanted to makes also. Fixes is 6.x-2.x are likely to benefit 6.x-3.x or 7.x-1.x.

We're getting awfully meta here and going on a serious tangent, but if the 6.x-2.x is not being abandoned as it currently stands, shouldn't we instead:

  • Demote 6.x-1.x,
  • Stabilize & finish 6.x-2.x,
  • Stabilize & finish 7.x-1.x,
  • Branch 6.x-2.x to make 6.x-3.x and backport the schema changes?

The confusing part is the separation between 6.x-2.x and 7.x-1.x when the latter is supposed to be schema-incompatible with the former. Maybe it'd help if there were issues similar to this for 6.x-2.x and 7.x-1.x it'd help clarify and we wouldn't be adding 6.x-2.x issues to a 6.x-1.x roadmap?

6.x-2.x will be abandoned after the next release, but it will substantially be the starting point for 6.x-3.x. In other words, 6.x-3.x will essentially be the continuation of 6.x-2.x in terms of code history, but we are going to break so many APIs and change the schema that renaming it will help prevent confusion by end users. Hence, if we don't fix these bugs in 6.x-2.x now, we will likely be fixing them in 6.x-3.x later.

6.x-2.x was essentially Robert's testbed for new features, and he does not have time to maintain it, so I would like to make it clear to end users that it's EOL.

Yes, agreed. I posted 2.x issues here, because I'm nearly done closing all the 1.x issues, and I don't particularly like the proliferation of roadmap issues.

Btw, how long does Drupal cache project pages? There are only 208 issues now (58 fixed), not 277 (and 71 bugs, 26 fixed).

There's an open bug - it's caching for a week+ by mistake. #1077880: Block cache of issue counts on project pages is not invalidated when it should be

Side note - we should decide on a coherent naming system for schema/solrconfig files.

I suggest this for the next set of releases:

6.x-1.3: drupal-1.3

6.x-2.0-beta4: drupal-2.0-beta4

7.x-1.0-beta4, 6.x-3.x-dev: drupal-3.0-beta4

essentially 7.x we can declare is the 3rd branch in terms of config. I'd suggest we then have the 7.x-1.x and 6.x-3.x config names follow the name of the last 7.x release where the config was changed.

#594068 is non-trivial - so 1.3+ unless someone's driven to roll the patch.

#881760 is low priority, let's punt for after the release.

So, I think all the issues we listed are committed to 6.x-1.x. Help in testing appreciated so we can roll the release with confidence.

jpmckinney’s picture

Cool. Once released we can have another look at the issues mentioned in #12.

pwolanin’s picture

Seems like all the issues are fixed? the only one that's come up (minor) is:

#1130816: Spellchecker is rebuilt, when disabling spell check

jpmckinney’s picture

Yes, we should probably fix that one. Before closing this issue we should create another one maybe for 1.4 issues (see #12).

pwolanin’s picture

I don't think the spellcheck one is critical - I'm going to release 1.3 unless there is any blocking bug you know of? And good idea to make a 1.4 meta-issue - we should have somewhat faster releases.
