Announcements to packagers policy - question
Hi all, I was made aware today that, unlike beta releases, RC releases seem not to be announced on the packagers list. Is there a reason for that? Thanks for the answer in advance :) Regards, Myriam -- Proud member of the Amarok and KDE Community Protect your freedom and join the Fellowship of FSFE: http://www.fsfe.org Please don't send me proprietary file formats, use ISO standard ODF instead (ISO/IEC 26300) ___ release-team mailing list release-team@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/release-team

What's the need of the announcement to be posted there? It's not like there is not enough places we annouce the release has been made, like this list, the annoucements mailing list, the webpage, etc. Did any packager really miss we released RC1 or RC2?

I did. Others on the Kubuntu team knew about it, but I've relied on those announcements on the packager's list (particularly about when the pre-release tarballs are available - AFAIK that isn't announced anywhere else). If you're going to drop communication methods that people rely on, it would be nice to mention it in advance. What low volume mailing list should I subscribe to so I can find out about pre-release tarballs and release announcements?

RC1 and RC2 did not have pre-release tarballs available, that is because the schedule says there's only one day between tagging and release, so it does not make any sense to do any kind of tarball pre-release. If you're going to drop communication methods that people rely on, it would be nice to mention it in advance. I already made clear on the packagers list that all public discussion about releases should happen here some weeks ago.
