- Islandora/F4 Update
- Project will commence Monday (project plan)
- A couple weeks to lay out project goals on Wiki
- A fedora 4 interest group will be relaunching soon as the rallying/staging point for this project
- Goal is to have a working islandora site where you can view 4.x repo that was migrated from a 3.x by Open Repositories
- Prioritize tickets for new sprint
- Maintenance sprints will continue as well as feature-focused sprints
- Andrew Woods suggested we look at the list and reorder it as we saw fit
- Unknown User (escowles@ucsd.edu) said the order seemed pretty good
- In request to clarification, a "story" type in Jira is a "feature, modification or enhancement" as opposed to something that's broken.
- Move to Java 8
- Can institutions support Java 8?
- What is our strategy going forward... will we adopt new versions X months after release?
- Unknown User (escowles@ucsd.edu) said he didn't anticipate problems
- Michael Durbin expressed an opinion towards being conservative and not forcing updates to Java to get Fedora Updates
- Doron Shalvi wanted to ensure that the we should prioritize being able to run on the current (NOT EOL) version of Java
- There was a general consensus that we compile down to the oldest non-EOL version of the JVM.
- When Java 7 is no longer supported, we start compiling to Java 8 and can use features that would prevent Java 7 compatibility
- In other words, Fedora 4.x will run on any current (not EOL) version of Java
- A. Soroka: My understanding was that Fedora 4.x will run on only the latest non-EOL Java version, not any non-EOL Java version.
- Andrew Woods will draft a version of this policy and distribute it out on the list
- We will also make a JIRA ticket to enforce this in the build
