Stephan found that the<BR>> current 0.5.1 releases don't build yesterday. :(<BR>> <BR>> I recommend we make one person out of the core committers the OpenSim<BR>> Release Manager, and that we have the following light weight process for<BR>> a release.<BR>> <BR>> * If anyone feels we are at a stable point for a release, email here<BR>> with the svn rev, and the fact that it looks good, and brief reason<BR>> for a release (feature X is solid, physics is fixed for Y bug, it's<BR>> been too long since a release, etc).<BR>> * Release Manager sets the tag<BR>> * Release Manager rolls releases (.zip and .tar.gz, there are nant<BR>> targets which do this already)<BR>> * Release Manager gets folks on IRC to test the releases, minimum on<BR>> Windows 32bit .NET and Linux 32bit Mono. Not everything needs to<BR>> work, but it needs to be rev quality that people on OSGrid could run<BR>> it (i.e. make sure it doesn't crash on boot, or scripts don't run, or<BR>> something)<BR>> * If all looks good, email is sent out to -dev and -users declaring a<BR>> release, and wiki is updated.<BR>> <BR>> I would recommend Charles to be our first release manager, as he is<BR>> nearly doing all of this for OSGrid today already, and his incredible<BR>> thoroughness has helped keep us all in check.<BR>> <BR>> Comments?<BR>> <BR>> -Sean<BR>> <BR>> -- <BR>> __________________________________________________________________<BR>> <BR>> Sean Dague Mid-Hudson Valley<BR>> sean at dague dot net Linux Users Group<BR>> http://dague.net http://mhvlug.org<BR>> <BR>> There is no silver bullet.
