In an effort to make releases easier to cut I would like to propose that we move to using git archive with a .gitignore to exclude any files that we feel should not be apart of the release. This will help cut down on time spent tracking missed files in the EXTRA_DIST section and having to compare the release dist versus whats in the repository.
My thought is that we work towards the cmake switch as follows: 0.9.4: end October - Switch to git archive 0.9.5: end November - Unify build/test env (Jenkins/Travis/etc all using Docker) 1.0: end December - Switch to cmake And what is everyone preference moving forward for release cadence, would like to get on a more regular schedule. monthly, quarterly? Thoughts? -Jake
