[campsite-dev] Campsite 2.7 & PHP5
  • I just want to confirm that Campsite 2.7 is going to require PHP5. I
    will assume this is the case unless someone says otherwise.

  • I have nothing against, only I wanted to warn these decisions for the
    future.

    In my opinion you should do following scenario:
    Major version - new features, changes in used technology
    Minor versions - stabilizing the new features, tweaking them
    minor subversions - bugfixies

    I even call for releasing patches at the time the patch is released like
    in following scenario:

    Release 2.6.1
    -patch 1
    -patch 2
    -patch 3

    release 2.6.2 which is 2.6.1 + all released patches and possible small
    changes bringing minor features

    I even believe, that 2.7 is useless if you plan 3.0 in a month and I
    disagree we should release new version that removes php5 unless you have
    a very important reason.
    Why simply not let people live with bugfixies following 30 days and then
    offer them 3.0? Do you plan to keep two branches simultaneously?

  • Campsite 2.7 and 3.0 are different than previous releases - 2.7 will not
    be officially supported, while 3.0 will be. You can think of this in a
    similar way to Ubuntu releasing Dapper, a long-term supported release,
    and then doing Edgy, a more experimental version.

    The target audience for Campsite 2.7 is the Radio Package people and it
    is not meant for general use. We had to do it in this way in order to
    meet the deadline.

  • In that case you confuse all users. Do not release 2.7 at all and simply
    insert it to the radiopackage. Or call it campsite-radiopackage-1.0.
    simply call it differently, so that users know, that "this campsite is
    not ment to be used by standard newspapers".

  • Yes, we will do something like that.
