[kepler-dev] Beta1 Freeze

[Dan Higgins]

Hi All,
    Due to confusion about the branch, we decided to base the beta 1 
release on the head of CVS as of 4PM Pacific time today (22 May). I will 
tag the head at that time and the Beta1 release will be based on that 
tag. So with the exception discussed below, please do not add any new 
code to CVS with the tag 'KEPLER_1_0_0_BETA1". If you have some 
important bug fix. please contact me to coordinate it. [NOTE: new work 
can be added to the HEAD with no problem. It just won't be in the release.]

    Now for the exception. Currently, Matt has added a demos folder 
directly under $KEPLER. There is a 'getting-started' folder inside. 
Currently, the head of CVS has a 'workflows' directory with a large 
number of somewhat confusingly organized workflow examples in a bunch of 
subdirectories. A very large number of these workflows do not run! So we 
are planning to NOT include the workflows directory in the release. 
Instead we would like like to have some new directories added parallel 
to the $KEPLER/demos/getting-started/ directory. These directories 
should be organized by project (e.g. I will add a 'SEEK' directory; 
other might be CIPRES, SPA, etc.) These directories should contain ONLY 
workflows that the project is very confident will actually execute! 
(Thus, this forces someone to check each one added.) Hopefully, you can 
add such example directories in the next few days. Just add to the head 
of CVS. I will add the proper tags to incorporate in the release.



    Questions always welcome.

Dan
