Welp, we can't do an out-of-band release unless we VOTE on it. We did include the python release in the bits what went out for 0.1-incubating, it's just not installable via easy_install, they have to actually do the setup.py installation, right?
My recommendation: We have 40 of 70 issues addressed at this point. I say Paul cuts the 0.2 release candidate this week, we VOTE on it, and as part of the process, Paul addresses OODT-65 [1] and makes publishing to PyPI part of the release process. One question though: How do we reference the Python tarball in the PyPI metadata? We can't link directly to the Apache dist directory, we have to use their mirroring system. Let me know what you think! Cheers, Chris [1] https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OODT-65 On Jan 9, 2011, at 11:59 AM, Sean Kelly wrote: > Argh.
