Yeah, so in the past Tier 1 platforms (OS X, Win, Lin, FreeBSD) are always available, but I rarely (if ever) held up RCs for anything besides that. I do have a list of people to alert, though... (Karel takes care of Solaris for example as time permits).
Even then, I wasn't always the one doing the builds... Gabor takes care of FreeBSD for me. And Mark was doing the OS X builds before, because he had an excellent test farm that allowed him to test a release across an array of OS X versions. Right now we're working on getting a Mac. I'll have short-term access to one by tomorrow thankfully, and be getting a new machine soon. So hopefully this won't be a problem going forward, although some knowledge transfer from Mark might be in order. :) On Mon, Nov 2, 2015 at 12:27 PM, Joachim Breitner <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > Am Montag, den 02.11.2015, 13:21 -0500 schrieb Richard Eisenberg: >> Personally, I would love delaying announcements such as these until >> binaries are available, at least for Linux, Mac, and Windows. > > it’s a release candidate, announced on the developer mailing list. > Isn’t such a mail a requirement for those wo build the various binaries > to get active in the first place?
