Hi everyone,
I've started plotting the release of 2.7. I'd like to try for a final
release mid next summer. 3.2 should be released, if not at the same
time as 2.7, within a few weeks to avoid 2.x having features which 3.x
doesn't. If no one has problems with this, I will draft a schedule.
Yes. Does this mean you are volunteering to be the 3.2 release
manager? Or simply prodding for volunteers? If it's the former are you
at all worried about burn-out from doing two release so close together
and being on the hook for two point releases at roughly the same time
for about two years after?
While I certainly wouldn't mind doing only 2.7, I don't know how we
could preserve everyone's sanity and release them at about the same
time. Different RMs would have different times they can do releases,
so I would worry about there being a release in a slightly different
stage of a different branch every couple weeks.
As for burn out, I expected 2.7.x, as the last 2.x release,
Are we definitely decided that 2.7 will be the last major release in the
2.x cycle?
Michael
to be
different in that several people would do the maintenance releases
(perhaps on a 6 month schedule or so) for the 5 year period, so that
would leave me with just 3.2.x (and maybe another 3.1.x release).
...
Additionally, I'm very apprehensive about doing any kind of release
without the buildbots running. Does anyone know when they might be up?
I don't know the answer, but it might be "never". We used to do
releases without them, so it's not impossible. Just means you have to
really push the alphas, betas, and RCs.
What do you mean "push"?
