I'm just wondering if we follow Mandriva's release cycle model. Every<br>
6th months a release or one year and one release. I think we should<br>
make one release in one year. By doing so devs and translators won't<br>
be in rush in every 6 months. Also there are major changes like<br>
systemd/upstart; those system related things will be more mature in a<br>
year to use. It makes the distro more stable and decraese mirrors<br>
space waste.<br>
<br>
One more thing. Do we follow Mandriva's release naming scheme? I.e. do<br>
we call our first release 2011.x ? I don't like this naming scheme and<br>
suggesting using number of release as naming like Mageia 1.0 or using<br>
code names.<br>
<br>
What's your opinion?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Hi all.</div><div><br></div><div>At this time, there is a survey asking to the blogdrake's community what kind of release cycle they prefer. This survey will be active until the weekend and I think this could be an acceptable look about community preferences.</div>
<div><br></div><div>We must keep on mind we're creating a user-oriented distro, so we must be stay in touch about their preferences.</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers</div></div><br>
</blockquote></div><br>Hi all again.<br><br>As i said, there's the results of the poll published in Blogdrake:<br><br>58% of votes are for maintain the same mandriva's release cycle scheme (same scheme, not parallel releases) There are several opinions about the periodicity of the releases: six months, eight months, annual... all options are more or less the same level of preference.<br>
<br>24% has chosen the "Rolling-light" model. as in the traditional model, there are opinions that support the annual release, six months or eight months. But this option, is dominated by the annual release of the "core".<br>
<br>15% supports the "pure-Rolling" model. There's nothing to say about release dates.<br><br>Surprisingly, there is also a minority support to a model similar to the "Debian way". I must confess that this last option on the poll was started as a joke, because Blogdrake's members often suffer "versionitis". But there are the votes (3%)...<br>
<br>So, these are the results of the survey. Apparently, the Blogdrake's community is closer to a model "release + backports".<br><br>I think it should be noted (as far as possible) the preferences of the community, in addition to technical and logistical constraints. Maybe with similar polls in other local communities?<br>
<br>Cheers.<br>
