[sakai2-tcc] QA and Final Release of an Indie - LTI

[Charles Severance]

Hi,

I need some more mentoring as to how to get an indie through "QA" and included in 2.9-x and 2.9.2.    Do I do my own QA and then just make a release and announce it?  Are there community resources that want to take a look?  Is there any TCC gating for this or do I just decide when it is time to go, make the release tag and tell someone to update the 2-9-x externals?

The reality is that 2.0.0 is a pretty poor bit of code.  I made a tag that was just enough to make sure Lessons had something to talk to for 2.9.0 IMS Common Cartridge 1.1 import.  The LTI portlet has actually been real solid for a few releases - but the new LTI Admin tool in 2.0.0 was kind of a Beta.   As a matter of fact, by the time 2.9.0 was done - the trunk of LTI was way beyond 2.0.0 and UMich redid the UI of the tool and was running that well-past-2.0.0 trunk code since September.  My new code is a bit beyond that which UMich is running with the addition of bug fixes.

So even if 2.1.0 turned out to have a few little bugs left, in reality 2.1.0 has a lot more production experience than 2.0.0 ever had and there are known bugs and security holes in 2.0.0 that are fixed in 2.1.0 - so one way or another I want 2.1.0 in Sakai 2.9.2 - because I really cannot support 2.0.0 as people start making increasingly sophisticated uses of LTI beyond the basic 1.0 launch in the portlet.

Looking for some guidance and assistance.

/Chuck

> Sakai LTI 2.1.0 is moving toward inclusion in in 2-9-x and 2.9.2.  This is a dramatic improvement over the LTI 2.0.0 that shipped with Sakai 2.9.0 and 2.9.1.  Many things have been fixed, new features have been added, the UI has been cleaned up, and there are several security fixes.
