Both sakai-2.7.2 and sakai-2.8.1 are hung up at the moment awaiting resolution of blockers or tire kicking by QA.  We need to discuss how best to get these releases out the door so that we can refocus efforts on sakai-2.9.

2.7.2 STATUS

UCT is running sakai-2.7.x, r96207 in production.  The sakai-2.7.2 release branch was created from 2.7.x, starting at r96049, 2 Aug 2011.  Since then there have been 16 commits to 2.7.x, including 6 help updates.  All have been merged to the 2.7.2 release branch (the help commits automatically) as of r97032.    

After a shaky start Stephen Marquard reported as of 12 August 2011: 

"we are back to the usual background level of bugs. The only one that may be new that I don't think we've yet got to the bottom of is the Announcements/Assignments bug."  See UCT bug summary: https://vula.uct.ac.za/mrtg/bug-summary.html.

The bug Stephen refers to is:  https://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/SAK-21036  (copy of https://jira.cet.uct.ac.za/browse/VULA-1384)

MySQL/Oracle conversion scripts also need to be retested due to https://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/SAK-20598.  I'm re-testing the MySQL scripts this afternoon.

2.7.x resolved/closed (to merge)
https://jira.sakaiproject.org/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?mode=hide&requestId=12212

I don't plan on merging any of these ticket fixes for 2.7.2.  Most generate merge conflicts.  One possible exception is

https://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/SAK-20980

We are also still running off of kernel-1.1.13-SNAPSHOT.  A late-breaking NPE may be worth fixing before the release although it looks like its  not a core path issue but flairs up when you remove a property from a DB user:

https://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/KNL-789

.
2.8.1 STATUS

The 2.8.1 release branch was created from 2.8.x, starting at r96298 on 3 Aug 2011.  Since then all 2.8.x commits have been merged to 2.8.1 as or r97134 except for the following:

https://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/SAK-20798  (fix version=2.8.2)
https://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/SAK-21004 (fix version=2.8.2)

Late-breaking regressions have hampered 2.8.1 release efforts as has trying to find a server admin available to install a running instance of the 2.8.1 release branch on a QA server (got this done yesterday) to support a QA test fest.

https://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/SAK-20996 StringUtil.swap() -> commons StringUtils.swap() causes regressions (rwiki -- fixed, merged)
https://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/SAK-21026 StringUtil.swap() -> commons StringUtils.swap() causes regressions (citations, email archive -- may still require testing before merging)

MySQL/Oracle conversion scripts also need to be retested due to https://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/SAK-20598.   I'm re-testing the MySQL scripts this afternoon.

2.8.x resolved/closed (to merge)
https://jira.sakaiproject.org/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?mode=hide&requestId=12536

Again, I doubt Sam or I will merge any of these fixes except SAK-21026 and perhaps SAK-21019, SAK-20980, SAK-20957, SAK-20962, SAK-19041 (accessibility), SAK-15826.  The latter all need to be assessed tomorrow.

Later,

Anth
