As part of the ongoing work with releasing 1.0 (only DOLFIN remaining now...) I have added series (0.x, 1.0, trunk) and branches (1.0.x, trunk) on Launchpad for most of our projects (Martin fixed UFL and I fixed DOLFIN, FFC, FIAT, UFC, Instant, Viper, FErari). We have also retargeted all existing milestones to the proper series and updated the graphics on Launchpad.
So everyone need to get familiar with the new branches and make sure they know where to push. I'm feeling the Launchpad and release administration is becoming quite tedious and my finger actually hurts from all the clicking on Launchpad buttons. Since we have 10 or so different projects to worry about, there's an extra factor 10 to everything we do. Not only will my (or someone else's) finger hurt every time we make a new release, but there's a greater chance something will go wrong (clicking the wrong button). So I wonder if there's any chance we could simplify the source code management for all our packages. One crazy idea would be to just throw everything into one single package (maybe with the exception of DOLFIN), let every package have its own subdirectory, but keep a common Launchpad page and a common tarball. I know there are tons of reasons we shouldn't do this (I can think of quite a few myself) but there seem to be some arguments in favor, the main one being that we have x packages and y << x very active package maintainers. -- Anders _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~fenics Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~fenics More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
