I've been using freeswitch for a while and really like the stability<br>
and sip compatibility. While the code is excellent, I think the<br>
version management could be better.<br>
<br>
>From the git repository, the last tag is 1.0.6 dated a year and half<br>
ago, and there was a 1.0.7 announcement but no tag anywhere. As<br>
described in the installation guide git repository is strongly<br>
recommended but the problem is, it's a changing target. And using<br>
SHA1 is really not helpful to the users.<br>
<br>
Is it possible to define a formal version numbering system and regular<br>
release procedure? For example, if we think the current master is<br>
stable enough has the features we need and no major issue, tag it as<br>
1.1-rc1, release it and let the users to test it under all different<br>
conditions. And then tag 1.1-rc2, 1.1-rc3, etc until all the the<br>
minor issues are either fixed or moved to next minor release v1.2. At<br>
that moment, tag and release 1.1 and create a branch b1.1 on master.<br>
Later, only the bug fixes go into the branch and it can be tagged as<br>
v1.1.1, then 1.1.2, etc. All the new features or enhancements will<br>
sit in master and be included in the next minor release v1.2, which<br>
will follow the same procedure.<br>
<br>
In this way, the users will have a fixed target to test and report<br>
issues and the developers will have a way to reproduce the same<br>
problem. And it will help the users and developers from outside<br>
understand the development progress. I believe it will also help<br>
integrate freeswitch into mainstream distros, like debian and fedora.<br>
My dream is one day, I could just type apt-get install freeswitch from<br>
the fresh debian installation.<br>
<br>
If you think it worths the time, I could contribute some time on it.<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
Dalei<br>
