Re: making a release



I just found this your original message, Gmail placed it in Spam folder
and I don't check it often.

But, since Alexandre Franke already addressed most of the points, I can
only add few thoughts:

- I'm surprised neither by this Oracle's decision to remove a package
because it's "no-longer maintained" nor by the fact that it provides
only an outdated version of the package (simultaneously!), but if your
org has a support contract with them there must be a reason...

- I doubt you can "prove" to them that Planner is "still maintained",
but I can assure you I've met some people here burning for the project
maybe even more than I do, so who knows, I certainly don't want to let
it disappear

I have an OS suport contract with Oracle.

Oracle recently pulled Planner from the desktop version of their OS on the
basis that Planner, as a FOSS package, is no-longer maintained.

After a support ticket ran its course, I had numerous email exchanges with
Oracle in which also perhaps my tone vented a deep sense of frustration.

Planner has saved my bacon, period.  I can't pretend to understand or have
any experience with Bugzilla or Git, so much of the exchanges went over my
head.

So, for the avoidance of doubt, will you or other GNOME developer
contributors, please clarify whether Planner is or is not being actively
maintained.  If it is, and given how much we pay for a support contract
from Oracle for their OS, I would like to repudiate Oracle's claim that
it is not being maintained and so ask them to reverse their recent
decision to remove it.  (Understand that this means that when Customers
apply Oracle's monthly updates, Planner gets deleted from disk).

The version that had been being shipped by Oracle until earlier this
year, was Planner 0.14.4

Thank you.

So I've just opened the pull request, and was told to suggest you make a
release -- it's been a long time...

Say, 0.14.7 or even 0.15.0?

It would allow many distros enjoy all the changes made during that
period and simplify the building process for Nixpkgs.
