Re: [CentOS] EL 6 rollout strategies? (Scientific Linux)

2011-05-12 Thread Mark Bradbury


 
  Do you expect the C6.0 - C6.1 differences to be more complex, or less
  complex than the C5.5 - C5.6 differences ?
 
  And given that C5.6 took 3 months, are there any reasons why C6.1 would
  take no more than 1 month ?

 Get over yourself Dag ... for goodness sake.




Why? seems like a valid point to me.

Re: [CentOS] CentOS-6 Status updates

2011-06-26 Thread Mark Bradbury


 yes cool isn't it, that webpage is updated! actually that's what makes
 it useful.
 besides, read the title text on that page again:
 QA dates are tentative dates for internal planning only. These are not
 official release dates, but only a guide for the QA team. All target
 dates are subject to change.


Which makes it pretty useless.

Re: [CentOS] CentOS 6 Progress as per qaweb

2011-07-03 Thread Mark Bradbury
  Of course, this time estimate is my guess and you should wait for
  official estimate from someone from dev team.
 
 Sorry my mistake. They will be available for download in 4-5 days, sync
 to external mirrors should be finished in 2 days.


Dates changed again

Re: [CentOS] CentOS 6 Progress as per qaweb

2011-07-06 Thread Mark Bradbury

 Not much of a difference this time, still good for download in 4~5
 days. This time it looks more like adjusting based on known time
 needed to push to external servers.

 Although I'm quite curious, how is the push done? Given the
 requirements of 25Mbits for donated servers, it would take less than
 an hour to push through even 10GB worth of DVD + CDs. It seems quite
 odd that it takes 2~3 days just to push to internal mirrors.


Any public mirrors have this yet?

 afaik, it hasn't been released yet.when its released, it will be on
 all the usual sites, the DVD ISO will likely be torrent only initially
 to reduce the load on the servers



According to this  http://qaweb.dev.centos.org/qa the mirrors started
syncing  last Tuesday. How long does it normally take for everything to sync
up?

Re: [CentOS] Where can I download centos 6

2011-07-08 Thread Mark Bradbury
 Reading QA web site, fair estimate is it will take 2-3 days for us to be

  able to download, since there where last minute changes to some packages
  and sync to external mirrors should have started last night and should
  last for 2-3 days. Keep in mind this is only my estimate.

 right, there is a website with status updates, and Jeff and others are
 doing a great job at keeping it up to date (thanks!).
 http://qaweb.dev.centos.org/qa/dashboard
 This is what people were asking for, now we have it! So please, if you
 want to know about C6 go visit the website, but don't post here...
 thank you.



Bollocks. this IS the only place to post to, as information is sorely
lacking.

Really this whole release cycle has been a complete balls up.

the little information we have such as  http://qaweb.dev.centos.org/qa  has
no history, and changed every week.

now the you have posted some new information at
http://qaweb.dev.centos.org/qa/dashboard  of which I, and I would say most
others, were unaware of, which implies that the release has been delayed yet
again.

For goodness sake I hope that the next release will be more transparent and
professional. It really does not look good for CentOS and open source in
general.

2011-07-09 Thread Mark Bradbury
since you replied to my post I guess you're talking to me?

 If so you're wrong: *I* didn't post anything on qaweb.dev.centos.org ,
 I'm just a centos user that went looking for information on that site,
 clicked on a few links/tabs and found the information I was looking for.
 Wasn't too hard, no neuronal overheat to report.
 But I still posted the direct link, so you and others can follow the
 progress without posting here every other day.


I apologise my email was not directed at you
