hat should we call the next version of the virtio spec?
The issue is that unfortunately current
spec versions all have "latest" link to
http://docs.oasis-open.org/virtio/virtio/v1.0/virtio-v1.0.html
Also, Google search for virtio still tends to turn up csprd01
and that has the above link in it.
I asked about adding links to
http://docs.oasis-open.org/virtio/virtio/latest/final/virtio-latest.html
http://docs.oasis-open.org/virtio/virtio/latest/final/virtio-latest.pdf
but did not get a response so apparently no go.
Options:
1. virtio 1.0 cs05.
Pros: latest link will point to the correct version.
Cons: seems to be confusing to people - 1.0 is a product so one
would expect 1.0 be in bugfixes-only mode at this point.
And what would we call a bugfix branch if we ever made one?
2. virtio 1.1
Pros: internet searches will start finding the new version (although
there's a risk it will get struct at csprd01 again).
Cons: latest links from 1.0 will not point at this one.
3. virtio 2.0
Pros: publicity. people will know it's a new spec.
Also, this leaves an option to do a bugfix release and call it 1.1.
Cons: people might get confused thinking it's not backwards compatible. |
