Indeed. I had no intention of lessening your work there. There is however a disconnect between what mostly everyone does i.e. package things once upstream throws out tarballs, with what I am doing and everyone else should be doing as well i.e. packaging things ahead of time and automate the hell out of everything else. We still do not have apps 15.04 packages despite all the kf5 based shebang being packaged and integrated. And I fear the reason for that is not scheduling or anything it quite simply is that doing a release is requiring too much time when it really should not. I said this the last couple of times on IRC when someone was being down because of the release effort: There should be no effort to be had. What should happen is you tell the CI to prep an upload and the CI should merge the correct branches into the correct landing branches and then build the packages and upload them and orchestrate it such that builds don't take 24 hours because launchpad's dep-wait-retry mechanic is running on a schedule. While this is on my todo it does have low priority right now, that does however not exclude anyone else working towards this. After all, that is the entire idea here: 1. CI all the things such that changes that require human tinkering get smaller compared to bundle releases ultimately spreading out the time investment over the development time of upstream's new version rather than balling up every 3 weeks making people work overtime which they then need 2. spend newly gained idle time on automating more things 3. have more idle time 4. ??? 5. retire in the Caribbean and get drunk on rum It does so because the present tools involved are largely organically grown hacks > But alas, yes > KDE ci seems to have eaten me alive.
