Are we planning to release a new version of the source distribution to fix the bugs that have been reported? From discussion with Eli on IRC, it seems we have the following options: 1. Update the source distribution for 5.0.1, but change nothing else. Pros: easy to do, few opportunities for new bugs Cons: mirror sites would be unlikely to update, especially those that are unofficial 2. Create a new release, 5.0.2, using the 5.0.1 tag. Pros: few opportunities for new bugs, mirror sites would update, new tests not required Cons: more work for release managers, have to explain need for new release 3. Create a new release right now, from the current git master Pros: The new release has a couple new features Cons: lots more work for everyone 4. Do nothing, wait till October. Pros: Easy for us. Cons: Our project looks terrible for distributing trivially broken software that we know about for two months. I don't think that 4 is a reasonable option - right now our project looks unserious to anyone who downloads the source distribution. We've already gotten multiple bug reports and I've seen people mention this problem on IRC. The most likely result is that people give up on Racket and never tell us about it. Thoughts? I'd be happy to help out in order to make this happen. -- sam th [email protected] _________________________________________________ For list-related administrative tasks: http://lists.racket-lang.org/listinfo/dev
