KDevelop beta3 release mess

2009-05-30 Thread Andreas Pakulat
Hi,

it seems that some friendly helpful soul uploaded 0.9.93 tarballs that I
put on upload.kde.org last weekend. At that time they weren't in the
right place and Stephan Binner said I should move them to the
pub/unstable/kdevelop/version place as soon as I got permission for
that. Unfortunately I don't have permission yet (I sent my ssh keys to
Dirk on wednesday, but haven't heard back from him). In the meantime it
seems someone picked the tarballs and moved them instead of me.

As I didn't know about that move, we've meanwhile retagged and wanted to
merge two more crash fixes into the beta3 tag in svn. So now we have the
tarballs on the ftp mirrors and they don't match the tag that has been
created. 

Question is: Whats the best way to solve this - change the tag back and
release a beta4 with a new tag once I have upload privileges? Or should
I just replace the tarballs once I have upload privileges and notify
kde-packagers, additionally to a dot-announcement, blog and news-item on
our website?

Andreas

  Howdy,
 
  Can we decide now if there will be a 4.2.5 release?
  If not, then that saves us some unneeded backporting work.
 
  Recall we stopped at 4.1.4.
  IMO we should stop at 4.2.4.
 
  Let's decide very soon and I'll communicate the decision to all
  developers.

 I would like to request something in between; still do some backports, but
 only in some special cases, at least until 4.3final is out.

 The special cases I could imagine would probably be something like:
  - grave bugs (dataloss  too frequent crashes to make the app usable and
 such) - and maybe with a CCMAIL: kde-packager
  - gcc 4.4 (and such)  compile fixes.
  - maybe other cases that I haven't yet thought of, but of a similar
 severity and impact.

 That way, distributions and others who cares can get blessed backport
 patches of the problems, which is kind of preferred.

Yep, for grave problems, we might want to consider a 4.2.5, otherwise I think 
we should stop at 4.2.4 and fully concentrate on 4.3.

One should never release different sources with the same name. Better call it 
3.9.94 or 3.9.93.1. So there is no doubt which sources people are using when 
refering to a version number.
