** Please CC me and r-t list, i'm not subscribed to pim list. ** Hello guys, as I hope you all know this Wednesday we are supposed to tag the final release for 4.13.
I am sending this email to ask for opinions on the value of adding an extra RC and delaying the 4.13.0 release for at least a week. I'm going to explain why I'd like this to happen. Since the update to 4.13 Beta I've been having lots of CPU and I/O problems in pim related stuff, most notably akonadi_baloo_indexer, akonadi_maildir_resource & friends. On every release i've complained on IRC to be told "oh yes, we just fixed this thing and will be available on the next release". But here I am, using 4.13 RC and with even KMail closed mysqld+akonadiserver+akonadi_maildir_resource are using 100% of one of my CPU cores and writing/reading around 10MB/s to my slow disks. I find this unacceptable. So yesterday I complained again on IRC, and was told again "oh yes, we just fixed this thing and will be available on the next release". Just that this is the last bullet we have for fixing stuff, if it turns out it's like all the previous 3 times i've been told that sentence, we'll end up with a bad 4.13 pim release, and even it may not linked to it (or it may, i have no clue), people will blame Baloo, and developers will get sad and will be less motivated to be on stuff and bugs will be fixed more slowly, you know that, down spiral of sadness for everyone. So I am going to ask: * Are you guys really sure this problem is fixed with the current git code? If so please tell me the repos I have to recompile and I will try seeing if it fixes my problems * Do you guys think this is just my problem and I can be just ignored? I can take that too, if you feel like everybody is using kmail 4.13 without any problems and i'm just an outlier with problems I am willing to accept that I'm unlucky and do the release as planned. * Do you guys think adding an extra RC would help? Of course you know where I am if you need me compiling something or giving you extra information about my setup. Cheers, Albert P.S: No, I haven't opened a bug, the reason is that every time i complained i've been told that it had already been fixed, so it seemed not necessary. ** Please CC me and r-t list, i'm not subscribed to pim list. ** _______________________________________________ release-team mailing list release-team@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/release-team
