We could really use a doc on this process. I'd be willing to help write such a document and maybe help Godefroid, Wouter, et. al. get a 3.3.6 out the door if folks like Eric, Hanno, and Wiggy (time permitting) wouldn't mind reviewing it. Just from watching, I'd say it loosely goes something like this: - Create a version specific buildout branch in coredev - Do development - Ensure that plips/open tickets are matched with humans. - Set timelines, apply pressures. - Maintain sources.cfg and versions.cfg. - Ensure that packages get released as development is completed. - Handle any upstream/Zope 2 issues. - Release the "final" Plone package. Anyone (besides me) have any interest in switching to mr.developer for 3.3.6 (since Wiggy never got around to it, or had any desire to switch IIRC)? Or is that just a lot of work for very little gain… Alex > > Regards -- Alex Clark · http://aclark.net Author — Plone 3.3 Site Administration · http://aclark.net/admin _______________________________________________ Framework-Team mailing list Framework-Team@lists.plone.org http://lists.plone.org/mailman/listinfo/framework-team
