Hi, Jean has modified http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Release_Criteria and increased the number of days for reporting blocker bugs from 7 to 10.
He says that they need to do the complete WE inside the period, see http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Talk:Release_Criteria Heh, what is "WE"? :-) OOo has only 5 days, see http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Release_criteria#Stopper_issues How is it there with building and approving the national builds? Michael thought that 7 days were too much, see http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libreoffice/2010-November/003498.html Jean and Michael already discussed this matter, see http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libreoffice/2010-November/003505.html http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libreoffice/2010-November/003600.html My opinion is that 10 days might make sense for the first release candidate but it is too much for the next release candidates. Otherwise, we would do only 2 release candidates during one month and the release would be newerending story. Note that we have more strict rules for changes during the rc phase, see http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development#Hack_and_commit_on_a_stable_branch Also I think that it does not make sense that every national team would do the whole testing. IMHO, 95% of the functionality is language independent, so most of the testing can be shared and distributed. I propose to go back and use 7 days for rc2. What do you think?
