Petr Mladek <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|UNCONFIRMED |NEW CC| |[email protected], | |[email protected] Ever confirmed|0 |1 --- Comment #3 from Petr Mladek <[email protected]> --- I add Kendy into CC who did setup the update mechanism. First, lets clear up the version naming convention. The version X.Y.Z consists of: + X - major version - new major release appears every few ears; brings new features and even very big ones; the initial release usually brings some regressions + Y - minor version - new minor release appears every half a year; brings new features and many fixes; the initial release usually brings some regressions + Z - micro versions - few bug fix releases appears regularly after each major or minor release; these contain only selected bugfixes; we do our best to fix regressions, critical, annoying, or trivial bugs and do not cause new regressions => each new bugfix release is more stable than the previous one AFAIK, we use the following strategy now. X.Y.Z users are informed when: + X.Y.Z+1 - any new bugfix release of the same major and minor release is available, e.g. 3.5.3 user is informed about 3.5.4, 3.5.4, 3.5.6 + X.Y+1.Z - new minor release of the same or higher micro version (bugfix-release level) is available; e.g. 3.5.3 user is informed about 3.6.3, 3.6.4, 3.6.5, 3.6.6; this user is not informed about 3.6.2 because the 2nd bugfix release has lower level of stability than the 3rd one. + X+1.0.Z - new major version of the same micro version is available; same logic as with minor release; it appears 6 months after the last minor release, so we do not expect any real revolution and unstability So, it might be possible to add a checkbox whether the user want to be informed about bugfix release or about minor releases on the same bugfix level. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
