I have to agree with Nathan and Denis. It would me buch better to announce a
release when the packages are ready. I remember that last time there was some
confusion and disappointment by users reading tweets that QGIS was available
and then they could not install it on their platform.
That was the first time - it might have come unexpected to the user. They'll
probably get used to it.
Sorry Jürgen that we discuss this at the very latest. I was already happy
that we got one week more time for testing/bug fixing.
At least for the next release we should have packages ready before the
announcement. Or only inform developers about the release and then the
regular users when the packages are ready.
Which packages? OSGeo4W? Windows standalone? Debian? Ubuntu? Ubuntugis?
Fedora? RHEL/CentOS/SL? OpenSUSE, Mandriva? Slackware? ArchLinux? OSX?
FreeBSD? Android? All? Some/which? How long do we wait?
As said, I think Windows is the limiting factor.
I am not sure about Mac.
But that would be the only two.
For the rest, a "packaging...coming soon!" message will do the job!
I rather get the (source) release done, get my packages done (a good share of
the above) and then get back to master...
Jürgen
