Hi,
> Realistically forking from the ON gate is not really an option IMHO. That's not actually what I was asking, although I agree with your conclusion about a source fork. The real point is whether or not Indiana might choose to skip a delivery of a consolidation because it felt it was of insufficient quality, relative to the other goals it has for a particular release. For ON, this could happen during the periods intermediate to a multi-phase project integration.
Ah, now I see, thats a very different scenario, and one which requires a lot more consideration and thought. What really needs to be defined here is 1. What exactly is going into a release 2. What is the acceptable level of qa and quality 3. What is an acceptable level of soak time and if something fails on one of these critera should it then be removed from release X, and slated for inclusion in X+1? Is this somewhat closer to what you were asking?

Its really not up to me, its the community, naming and versioning is an important issue, but its not the most pressing at the moment - which is the point I was trying to make. To be honest though I'm confused as to what is pressing. - Fintan -- Blog - http://fintanr.journalspace.com Work Blog - http://blogs.sun.com/fintanr _______________________________________________ indiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/indiana-discuss
