From maciej at opencsw.org Fri Jul 15 10:48:16 2011 From: maciej at opencsw.org (=?UTF-8?Q?Maciej_Blizi=C5=84ski?=) Date: Fri, 15 Jul 2011 09:48:16 +0100 Subject: [csw-announce] Transition to the new release process In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Hello OpenCSW users, You might have already heard about the automated release process, which has been discussed on the maintainers mailing list in the last couple of months. The idea has been written up[1], then voted on and accepted[2]. At about the same time, the package release manager has unfortunately retired from the project[3]. You might have noticed the pause in package releases that started about a week and a half ago. To respond to the new situation, project members are working hard on the accelerated transition to the new release process. Most of the elements of the new system are already in place; current efforts focus on catalog signing and testing of the system as a whole. Meanwhile, work on packages is going on as usual. All upgraded packages are currently lining up for release, you can expect a larger number of updates when the new process goes live. We'll keep you posted. --Maciej Blizi?ski, The OpenCSW team [1] http://wiki.opencsw.org/automated-release-proposal [2] http://www.opencsw.org/2011/07/a-new-direction-for-opencsw/ [3] http://lists.opencsw.org/pipermail/maintainers/2011-July/014964.html
