I brought this up on IRC just now and seemed to get a big "we don't care" vibe from the participants in the conversation, so I wanted to bring it up here as well.
About a week before our surprise release, ticket #924 was created as a task item and assigned a blocker priority on the 0.6 milestone. Its goal was to remove Postgres from the release before it was packaged and shipped. This never happened... Postgres is totally and utterly broken in 0.6. Any changes that were made to support ACL were never tested. In fact, there might even still be a typo I noticed in the schema.sql file that never got fixed. It never should have gone out with the release, but we've all got it. If we're at all concerned with the quality image we want Habari to project, this would be a big harpoon in its side. Postgres is displayed in the installer, there are files there, there's a SQL schema file... it just won't work after I finish the installer. Oh, turns out Postgres isn't supported in this release and everyone knew that... Then why is it included? This bothers me for many reasons, not the least of which is that we're advocating the use of Trac and then ignore a blocker (3, actually) assigned to the milestone. If we're going to use Trac we need to start actually using it, because this should never happen... Anyway, add that rant to the list of major no-no's to keep in mind while we're revising our release checklist. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/habari-dev -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
