Dear all,
this week is left for finalizing the regular Isabelle repository for the
release. Then the usual fork to the isabelle-release repository will
happen, and release candidates appear for public testing on isabelle-users
like last time.
Some very quick guys have already started testing the test for the
packaging, which was not a proper release candidate yet. So I need to
hurry up.
Last December we have had a lot of NFS problems at TUM, so I would like to
experiment a bit with viable alternatives, and Bitbucket seems to be the
main player for Mercurial. Various side-repositories that are required
for the release will be hosted there (e.g. the website).
See also https://bitbucket.org/isabelle_project/isabelle-release/wiki/Home
for the main entry point for the actual release. I have activated the
tracker, too, to see if a few more reports are coming in the critical
weeks before actual lift-off. (For Isabelle2012 we've had about 3 people
testing before the release, and about 5 testing afterwards.)
I recommend to register at Bitbucket already, choosing a good account
name. It is a very easy and generous server. As someone with academic
mail address you immediately get a free upgrade to "unlimited users" for
private repositories. Public repositories are always unlimited.
Makarius
