</I>>><i> I'm just wondering if we follow Mandriva's release cycle model. Every
</I>>><i> 6th months a release or one year and one release. I think we should
</I>>><i> make one release in one year. By doing so devs and translators won't
</I>>><i> be in rush in every 6 months. Also there are major changes like
</I>>><i> systemd/upstart; those system related things will be more mature in a
</I>>><i> year to use. It makes the distro more stable and decraese mirrors
</I>>><i> space waste.
</I>>><i>
</I>>><i> One more thing. Do we follow Mandriva's release naming scheme? I.e. do
</I>>><i> we call our first release 2011.x ? I don't like this naming scheme and
</I>>><i> suggesting using number of release as naming like Mageia 1.0 or using
</I>>><i> code names.
</I>>><i>
</I>>><i> What's your opinion?
</I>>><i>
</I>><i>
</I>><i> Hi all.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> At this time, there is a survey asking to the blogdrake's community what
</I>><i> kind of release cycle they prefer. This survey will be active until the
</I>><i> weekend and I think this could be an acceptable look about community
</I>><i> preferences.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> We must keep on mind we're creating a user-oriented distro, so we must be
</I>><i> stay in touch about their preferences.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> Cheers
</I>><i>
</I>><i>
</I>Hi all again.
As i said, there's the results of the poll published in Blogdrake:
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.
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".
15% supports the "pure-Rolling" model. There's nothing to say about release
dates.
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%)...
So, these are the results of the survey. Apparently, the Blogdrake's
community is closer to a model "release + backports".
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?
Cheers.
