Only major problems are fixed there, no new features. +- Service releases are produced 3 months and 8 months after release, to +integrate major bug fixes => this could be some xxxx.1 and xxxx.2 +releases after the main xxxx release. + +The main reason of the milestone is that Eclipse committers are more or +less supposed to run the latest millestone: have your cake and eat it +too. Any problem in the milestone should that way be met by those +developers and quickly reported for a fix in the next milestone. + +Here the idea is that Mageia supporters willing to help making it better +should be able to run the latest milestone without must risks +(basic functionality working). + +All the details about Eclipse release process is available on: +<A HREF="http://www.eclipse.org/projects/dev_process/development_process_2010.php">http://www.eclipse.org/projects/dev_process/development_process_2010.php</A> + +Daniel +</PRE> + + + + + + + + + + + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="000641.html">[Mageia-dev] How will be the realese cycle? +</A></li> + <LI>Next message: <A HREF="000640.html">[Mageia-dev] How will be the realese cycle? +</A></li> + <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> + <a href="date.html#625">[ date ]</a> + <a href="thread.html#625">[ thread ]</a> + <a href="subject.html#625">[ subject ]</a> + <a href="author.html#625">[ author ]</a> + </LI> + </UL> + +<hr> +<a href="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-dev">More information about the Mageia-dev +mailing list</a><br> +</body></html> |
