Date: Sat, 10 May 2003 23:28:51 +0200 From: David Neary <bolsh@xxxxxxxx> I suggest pushing all these bugs, with the exception of bug #83362, to a target other than 1.2.4 (either 1.2.5, 1.2.x or CLOSED with WONTFIX). IMHO 18 months without a bug-fix release on 1.2 is far too long. I would also like to suggest a policy of a point-release every 6 weeks or 2 months on 1.2, just to get fresh bug-fixes out to people. What we've done with Gimp-print is to release pre-releases periodically, depending upon need (e. g. we're at 4.2.6-pre1 on our stable branch right now). As the changes are accumulated and tested we release a full point release when appropriate. The most recent full point release (4.2.5) was released in January, and I don't anticipate 4.2.6 coming out right away. It actually wound up being about 5 months from 4.2.0 until 4.2.1, and over 4 months until 4.2.2. -- Robert Krawitz <rlk@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Tall Clubs International -- http://www.tall.org/ or 1-888-IM-TALL-2 Member of the League for Programming Freedom -- mail lpf@xxxxxxxxxxxx Project lead for Gimp Print -- http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net "Linux doesn't dictate how I work, I dictate how Linux works." --Eric Crampton
