Well, there hasn't been much response on this! So far:
dion +1
PLEASE take a little time for this, otherwise a digester release will
not happen.
Before voting +1 there are two issues you need to consider:
a) is it an appropriate time for a digester release
b) is the release plan ok?
c) is simon the right person?
a:
* have a look at bugzilla for digester, and verify that there is only
one outstanding bug entry, with a patch already committed (and it
only occurs with the Aelfred xml parser). In fact, it might be
closed by the time you look.
* have a look at the commit history for digester
(svn log -v -rnnnnn:HEAD proper/digester/trunk)
and verify that there really isn't much action going on
* have a look at the release notes, and verify that there is some
stuff worth releasing.
I can't think of anything else that is relevant. So if these all look ok
to you, then I ask that you vote +1 on getting a release out.
b:
* read the release plan (in my original email; link is below).
c:
* I'm the only active digester maintainer
* No-one else has volunteered
* I don't eat babies [1] or summon demons [2]
(do those disqualify a release manager anyway?)
So unless you have a particular concern, then I ask that you vote +1 on
me being the release manager.
Note that this is not an *approval of a release candidate*, it's just a
vote to get the process started. There will also be a vote to approve a
specific release candidate build, at which time I hope people will
devote a little time to downloading and testing the .tar.gz, inspecting
the updated website, etc. - all that usual stuff.
