Is there something wrong with that? Many people believe it is a good thing, as a 3.[N+1] release emphasizes to people that they need to review new config options, default values may have changed, etc The actual work in preparing a 3.4.1 or a 3.5.0 is about the same > I do not want to wait until end of August.

Most of the effort I've put into the existing releases this year has been done to ensure that we have something consistent to coincide with publication of the book and major distributions like Debian (which has just gone into their freeze ahead of the 7.0 release). I believe we are at that stage. If there does need to be an August release, I leave that for other people to decide and support - but unless there is a commercial driver for it, I personally don't have the time to invest in reviewing changes, releasing, testing, etc as well as dealing with any final book issues this month If someone does want to release, it is all scripted now, that is how I built 3.3.8 and 3.4.0, just checkout the git2dist tool, e.g. cd ganglia-git vi configure.in (update the version details) git commit -m 'Update for 3.4.1' git tag -s -m 'Tag v3.4.1' 3.4.1 && git push mkdir ~/ws git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/git2dist/code ~/ws/git2dist ~/ws/git2dist/git2dist git2dist.rc 3.4.1 and it will build and test the tarball for you. It even unpacks the tarball and tries to build the binary, test the binary, etc. The process must be run on a Debian 6 environment or autotools will give unpredictable results. You can just test-run the process too, just skip the tag step. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
