Mark intermediate builds appropriately #17
Comments
I prefer the use of the term BETA. 2nd choice would be INCOMPATIBLE, though the fact is that it is unknown rather than proven if it is INCOMPATIBLE. The other 2 terms do not seem appropriate or correct statements unless there is more context given in the statement. |
"beta" is fine by me. |
So presumably we need such a field in the binary "Release" file and MetaData, eg: in here somewhere...?

I would personally prefer "UNSTABLE" for nightlies which sounds like exactly the right term to me. For any other sort of of "almost ready" builds (such as the ones we have previously marked as "ea" my preference is for BETA, which would probably be the best term for the April GA rebuilds we are looking to do at first via Adoptium in the absence of a TCK. |
@andrew-m-leonard the requirement is as written in the governance document, which does not specify the nature of the mark. It could be as simple as making the status clear on the website where the binary is hosted, or have it "built into" the binary as you describe. We should decide what fits the requirement and does our users a service. We may see value in having the mark ('beta' or 'unstable' etc.) printed out as part of the java -version so we can easily identify it after installation. Otherwise, I suggest we just add the mark as part of the non-release artefact filename, e.g. |
