use a completely different build process for the release than for the
beta/development stuff.
The packages still have to be built as a whole, they need to go through
QA testing, isos need to be built and tested. The only thing that I can
think of that Stream benefits this process is to help Red Hat find the
odd bug here and there before their final release (after which CentOS
still has to do everything listed above).
As I understand it the whole full build and QA and whatever may still be
done again. The big difference is that the whole work of how to build and
setting up the build infrastructure has already been done and is known and
tested. So the complete build is going quite fast and the big delays are a
thing of the past.
If it's going to be like that it sounds very good.
exactly, that was my point. I remember 8.0 was very delayed by how much
harder and different the build process was.
That work was completed in the build of 8.0 and to a smaller extent 8.1.
Stream doesn't really add anything here.
