Not that I'm particularly interested in the release process but I'd just |
2 |
like to make the suggestion that -releng take a good look at the freebsd |
3 |
release process, they are very much like us in that they have a |
4 |
constantly moving ports tree but also have a consistant release |
5 |
schedule/process and also have definitive goals with each release. |
6 |
Granted there is very different in that they are the actual |
7 |
libc/kernel/userland developers so they actively work on that and |
8 |
schedule the features around releases. |

|
10 |
Also.. since glibc switched to snapshots rather than versioned releases |
11 |
something that releng is going to need to do is ensure the the current |
12 |
glibc in portage is stabilized and tested thoroughly before stages/grp |
13 |
are built, this is a goal that will have to be constantly met before |
14 |
release and certainly can't be put off until the next release. |
