Re: Cherokee 0.99.42 released [In reply to]

Hello,

I want to make a couple of suggestions, and know you opinion about it.

Since I'm using Cherokee there are two things I feel that can be
improved in the release process:

1- Include a brief of the changes introduced in each release.

Rationale: OK, I install and (barely) test each release, everything
seems OK, so I put it in production. But, what has changed? It would be
nice that we know what's new in each release to be aware of the changes.

I know there's a ChangeLog file, but it doesn't seem obvious to me.
I've found a "Cherokee 0.99.40 released", but I can't find information
about 0.99.42.

2- I think Cherokee needs a "security" section in the web so anyone can
check the security track of the project.

Rationale: I must confess that I was willing to try Cherokee for
some time and my home server it's not a critical eh service :), but in
normal (professional) conditions I would have been reticent to try it
because I can't know if it's a secure product or not (in security, no
news isn't good news).

If I'm running Cherokee 0.xx.yy, is there something I must be
worried for?

What do you think about it? I think both points could make Cherokee
server a better experience for administrators.

Regards,

Juanjo

Yeah, the first option would be the ChangeLog file. As you've probably seen, it's automatically build from the code repository commit messages.

The second option would be the much shorter 'Changes' summary included in each release announcement. For instance, check out the announcement of Cherokee 0.99.40:

http://lists.octality.com/pipermail/cherokee/2010-January/012169.html

Of course, there's room of improvement, although I don't think we are doing that bad at this respect. Am I missing something?

I am all for this one. It's a superb idea! +1.

We should look for someone to take over this task though. Even if it isn't a time consuming task, a highly committed person would be required to perform the task.

Would you be willing to take on the task? -- long shot, I know :-)

Thanks a million for sharing your ideas!

Yep, but this last release the log was kinda "vague":

- Fixes a last-minute regression. Some really common software did not
run on Cherokee 0.99.41.

I mean, I must fear it? :) I'm affected? I MUST upgrade?

I find Cherokee project quite interesting and I would be pleased to
help. I don't think it's more than giving some visibility to any changes
in each release that:

a. can affect the stability of the service or
b. can affect the security of the service

We must find the proper way to do it, some examples:

http://www.debian.org/security/
http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/

OK, both are distributions and deserve a different treatment for the
security stuff, but it can be a good starting point.

You know that the devil it's in the details, and something that simple
can make a product more trustworthy (ie. signing the releases with GPG
would be easy and a good point for Cherokee).

Thank you for taking them into account.
