19 Hello,
20
21 Could some point me to, or provide a more specific breakdown of some of the
22 roles and tasks that would need to be tended to?
23
24 Forgive me if i appear ignorant to the problems and issues with maintaining an
25 enterprise ready tree but in my mind running a stable tree would involve :
26
27 1. Identifiying a version of a package that is stable
28 2. Marking that package as stable
29 3. Pushing that package to the rsync servers
30 4. ?
31 5. ?
32 6. ?
33
34 What are the items that are missing from my list?
35
36 Cheers
37 Phil
