[Linux-igd-devel] 1.0 finally released and new development branch open...

[Daniel J B. <dan...@gm...>]

Now that I made the linuxIGD 1.0 release, there is a couple of tasks
to do before we open the door to larger changes with the linux-igd
project:

 -> we need to announce this on the project news page

 -> need to build and upload some binary packages

I'll see about putting up a news release in the next 24 hours, unless
anyone would like to? And, I'd appreciate help from anyone else who
may contribute a binary package.

For the next steps, there is (in addition to the items in the TODO file):

 -> configure script/autotooling

 -> Layer3Forwarding patch from Nektarios

Nektarios: is the patch in the patches section of the project your
latest version?

 -> AutoNotification patch from Nileshkumar

Nileshkumar: can you check this is your latest one too?

Don't worry about the patches not applying to the current version
though etc; I'll apply them by hand as needed etc. For any non-trivial
patches, we should use the 'Signed-off-by: Joe Bloggs
<joe...@co...>' on the CVS commit messages; so I'll contact the
right developer in email for one when I'm about to commit a patch.

We need to re-contact the people who had some interest in the autotool
stuff, distro-specific scripts and who were talking about the name
changes (linux-idg -> upnpd to reflect multi-OS compatibility) etc to
contribute and start the ball rolling again. It would be good to get
this stuff in.

After these initial patches, I'll cut a 1.5-rc1 release (I think we
can justify the jump to 1.5). If we have the project and script name
changes to upnpd (etc), then we can cut a 2.0-rc1 release. After some
months of testing and -rc releases, we can release the final 1.5/2.0
release.

Please post ideas, comments and suggestions!
