I wrote many times that I'll do my best to release Ac stable before October 2006. Since its two weeks from now its time to decide if I'll do it or not. Because of that I'm asking all developers: do you think that current Ac main is ready to be released as stable? If not, why?
If I'll decide to release Ac now following things will happen: - kernel will be built from LINUX_2_6_16 branch - current Ac ready will be included too - Ac main will be permanently frozen on September 24th - ISOs will be ctreated using current bootdisks Few words about bootdisks/installer... There are still some bugs, most of them unconfirmed. I currently don't have time to validate/fix them. However I've not encountered any serious problems disallowing to install PLD since RC2 bootdisks (and I was installing it on at least 20 different machines in that time). Ac security team... In worst case scenario Ac will be released before December. Its not that far from now. After that we will need to maintain updates. As I can see from CVS commit logs, not many developers care about security/general updates in Ac. I simply can't take care of that by myself. Therefore I'm asking: are there any volunteers for keeping Ac secure and up to date? If not, perhaps we should reconsider "always in developement" way of maintaining PLD? "stable == dead"? Everybody knows how Ra ended. We could say it was out of date the day it was released. I don't want Ac to end this way too. Thats why I'm open for all, even some major upgrades after releasing stable version. And small miscellaneous info: - please do not respond on pld-devel-pl or pld-devel-en, use pld-discuss to keep messages in one thread - yes, I was to lazy to wrote this message in polish too, althought polish replies are welcome if you can't/don't want to write in english M. _______________________________________________ pld-devel-en mailing list pld-devel-en@lists.pld-linux.org http://lists.pld-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/pld-devel-en
