I see no disagreement. That's right, if the release manager says 'no more commits' and you go ahead and commit, you're going to get blamed whether it breaks things or not. It's the release manager's responsibility to coordinate dates so that such brokenness gets detected before the freeze. One possible scenario would be for the RM to say, 'Okey, we're frozen. Regression tests run now. If nothing pops up, we'll cut and then unfreeze and go back to commit mode.' It's the RM's call. - -- #ken P-)} Ken Coar, Sanagendamgagwedweinini http://Ken.Coar.Org/ Author, developer, opinionist http://Apache-Server.Com/ "Millennium hand and shrimp!" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iQCVAwUBQ9FpqprNPMCpn3XdAQL1EAQAnN9gGYfu+++gZMRGc3vbq5w1RS3dllki JBnVoGUDgcGsTbEVMMCOkzuqDlacTAD62cSwBTxpEFp5s/S0q/nxOG6BAFUwLli6 TrCF3avuNAQM85UlDog/XyXN1wczWW5l0Wwjxv1TfXTb42nYJ0yhx6Fxtc+Q51zz jxzymExJYN4= =uZ3b -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
