In this case, do we have any procedure for fixing something "bad" like the directory traveral bug, and getting a fix out to users in a timely fashion?

One possible solution: Fix the problem in CVS HEAD, and then backport it to the last released version (in this case 2.1.2), and make a small security update release -- maybe as 2.1.3 or 2.1.2pl1 or something.

Even though the problem isn't that bad since it's in a sample, something may come down the road later where we have to fix something of a more serious nature, and get a new version out. Waiting for a freeze/release cycle might be too long if the problem is urgent enough.

Thoughts?

IMO Cocoon core is so stable that we can do a release at every time.


Even an immediate fix is possible:

cvs co cocoon-2.1 -r 2.1.2

Fix it on the local checkout and release it as you suggested. A freeze period is not necessary then of course.
