(AND also all the long time supported + versions) + + This would mean that for each package being release, it'll have to + work with + the current set of other packages, but also with the packages you'll + be doing + next. + + if you have this constant level of QA, you need alot of resources + (which we + don't have in QA), and as an extra result, you'll not have the same + level of + QA you could have, when you're doing a release. + + it's much easier (as devs) to just choose a subset of packages, and + test those + out. + + if you have X QA-devs, and you have 1 subset of versions of + packages, you can + test alot more than if you have several versions of several packages + that need + to work all with each other in almost any combinations... + + not to mention that you need an extra step with QA to put a "group" of + packages from one level to the next... + + sorry, but with our current resources, i vote no. i want current + resources to + be used much more efficiently than with a rolling release. + + + +Why do we keep acting like there is no other way to pool resources? I +have never helped develop in any way, teach me something and I'll lend a +hand... Others may do the same.. ASK! + +QA comes from testing... Test... Test... And test more... To make sure +what you have works and works well. Let's change up my idea a bit and +satisfy everyone... Let's compromise... + +How about Cooker (or whatever you call) rolls to rolling (can be very +stable???!!!) with release cycle releases based on a snapshot of either +of the rolling models and supported for X amount of time? This could +make those whom want a rolling release model happy and those whom want a +release cycle. + +Would this be hard? I don't really think so as development is already +based on a rolling model (cooker or whatever), all that will have to be +done is packages roll down the line. I seen in the start of all these +talks you wanted to support 3 structures of systems... Here they are! + +What about this?
