Everyone else wrote: :crickets: To silence the crickets.. I had hoped to have a crack at producing a release this weekend, but events turned out differently. As it turns out, I will be very busy during this week, and then AFK with little or no net for the two weeks xmas and following.. so it doesn't make much sense for me to do this next release. I'm still happy to volunteer for this, in either or both roles as njs outlines above, for January and onwards. I don't really think it helps much for me to volunteer to manage someone else through this next December release. So, who wants to look after the 0.32 release ASAP? Is anyone staying home with time on their hands around xmas? I'll do a January one just prior to the summit, and we can sort out more structured processes longer term at the summit. -- Dan. pgpPwXj5GGtln.pgp Description: PGP signature ___ Monotone-devel mailing list Monotone-devel@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/monotone-devel

Hi, Richard Levitte - VMS Whacker wrote: A group of volunteers might actually be a good idea :). Yes. Especially for a distributed VCS it seems obvious to have a distributed group of release managers. I'm sure we can manage the communication overheads somehow ;-) No seriously, though. I don't think these steps can easily be split up. One person should be 'responsible' for that every month. Maybe we can cycle that, but please let us have one person release (at least) one version, the more the better.. i.e. (just as an idea): Nathaniel Smith: - 0.32 Timothy Brownawell: 0.33 - 0.35 Daniel Carosone: 0.36 - 0.38 Matthew Gregan: 0.38 - 0.40 Richard Levitte: 0.41 - 0.43 ... BTW: Is there a plan or some minimum requirements for incrementing to versions 1.xy?

[Monotone-devel] anyone want to try being release manager?
I've been monotone's release manager since, AFAICT, March of 2005... so almost 2 years now! Maybe someone else would like to try their hand at it? It is not really a crushingly painful thing the way being a release manager for, say, gcc, or Debian, is -- mostly you just have to write up the release notes and roll the release, once month. But I haven't been managing to do that (we're late again on 0.32 already), being busy with things like the summit, and really I do too much stuff anyway, so it's good to spread the responsibility around. (Other people are allowed to review patches, too, btw ;-).) If you want to see what exactly is involved, there's notes/release-checklist.txt in the tree: http://viewmtn.angrygoats.net/revision/file/c2e89c03548a79d9203d06b0d662c2ad6f8e1f5d/notes/release-checklist.txt and of course if anyone wants to take this up then I'll watch over your shoulder for the first release or two to make sure you're doing okay. Any volunteers? -- Nathaniel ___ Monotone-devel mailing list Monotone-devel@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/monotone-devel

The given useful command can be replaced with $ mtn log -r h:net.venge.monotone --to t:monotone-* , given a sufficiently recent version of monotone (from the last week or so). I've updated notes/release-checklist.txt to have this new version.
