I agree too. Time for testing should be longer, as well as time to fix for developpers ! Don't forget we don't do this as our main activity, but on volontary spare time. So we need more time to react. The best way is to begin by deciding when you would like to release the new version, and then back-planify the BETA and RC deadline, putting for example 1 or 2 months of testing between each... -- Pascal Cavy - VMF __________________________________________________________________ Running 1 day, 3:23, 1 user, load average: 0.10, 0.22, 0.16 (gcc version 3.3.1 (Mandrake Linux 9.2 3.3.1-2mdk)) Kernel Linux version 2.4.22-10mdkenterprise
