I was responding to the 'every best practice' line. His implication is
that it's poor form to release something that's completely broken and
then fix it quickly. BEST practice is to release software that works.
Barring that, you pull the software that doesn't work until you can fix
it. You just DON'T keep distributing the broken one, when the bug is
that severe. ("not working at all" is pretty severe.) Calling 6.3.0
'stable' is -ridiculous-.
Stable, in the context of a software project, means both that it's not
changing AND that it works, not just that it's not changing.
Since Slimserver is advertised as a community project, and radish is
telling me about best software practices, it's pretty reasonable to
include him/her in the collective 'you' of the Slimserver developers.
If that was an error, then please consider the 'you' as pointed at
someone else.
You guys are feeling vented at _for a reason_. And it's not that the
users are suddenly sucking. They are annoyed because this project is
not being managed well. The code is (overall)fine, the features are
fine, the hardware is good. The software release process, on the other
hand, is completely broken, and in dire need of an overhaul.
Again, I would be more than happy to help test -rc versions.
