Well, it is not wasted work anyway, as that will at least allow packagers to fine tune their build scripts and have maybe some packages ready to begin testing when the official pre-release is launched as explained before. Indeed I'd had already found a couple of bugs myself by going through the proposed questionnaire : * new ChangeLog generation is broken at least in CentOS 4.6 * `gmond -r` generates a broken configuration for 3.1 so people migrating from 2.5.7 (all those OpenSuSE and Debian guys) will have a harder time upgrading than usual. Agree though that it can be confusing (since there will be then 2 packages with the same version name) and is not what we had documented should happen as part of our release process either; but was suggested by our release manager and had happened as part of the release cycle for 3.1.0 as well so it shouldn't be that much of a surprise to everyone involved. > Since both myself and Bernard are out of the office until Wed., > let's just wait until then to get things going. If you both were planning to be out until Wed, why enforce a freeze and stop all backporting and development efforts since Friday then? If we can spare almost a full week of development why is it so hard to convince everyone else that we should spare one extra week for testing?
