Hi,<br>
<br>
At the IRC software meeting yesterday we discussed creating some new<br>
build streams in preparation for our August "8.2" release. These<br>
streams were proposed:<br>
<br>
* Unstable/Joyride: This will move immediately (well, within a day or<br>
two) to be a copy of the "olpc-3" stream, which is a build stream<br>
preparing for a switch to Fedora 9, instead of the current Fedora 7.<br>
<br>
The Joyride release process will continue to be followed here. There<br>
is still a lot of work to be done on the F9-based build: it will be<br>
broken for a while as the kinks are worked out. Please help!<br>
<br>
* Testing: This will also be a copy of olpc-3, but with a different<br>
release process. Changes will be moved from unstable into testing<br>
upon negotiation with the release engineer, Michael Stone. This<br>
build stream will be used by our QA team and community to assess<br>
the readiness of features for the 8.2 release.<br>
<br>
* Stable: Stable builds are specified by their release name (e.g. 8.1.1,<br>
8.2), and the procedure for packages moving from Testing into Stable<br>
releases involves the Unscheduled Release Process:<br>
<a href="http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Unscheduled_software_release_process" target="_blank">http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Unscheduled_software_release_process</a><br>
<br>
Anyone familiar with Debian's build naming will see intentional<br>
similarities here.<br>
<br>
Apologies in advance for any misunderstandings or omissions from the<br>
discussion that crept in to this mail -- don't take this summary as<br>
ratified until this thread stops getting new replies. :)<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>
<br>
- Chris.<br>
