According to a recent post on Slashdot.org Mandrake are changing their release cycle once again... ---- Linzer writes "Mandrakelinux just issued this press release presenting (1) a new one-year release cycle, with a year-based naming scheme and (2) their updated development roadmap. In a nutshell: the upcoming 10.2 becomes a transitional release, labeled 'Limited Edition 2005.' Next fall will see Mandrakelinux 2006, merging Mdk and Conectiva know-how (and possibly some know-not?) For the amnesic: Mandrakesoft and Conectiva recently merged." Not everyone is pleased, though: Tingulli 3 writes "As a member of the Italian Mandrakelinux translation team , I spent nights translating some packages to be on schedule for the 10.2 release. I was quite disappointed when I discovered that a new roadmap has been announced and that there will NOT be any 10.2 release, without anybody announcing it to the community." --- link to slashdot article: http://linux.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=05/03/21/2348253&from=rss
Mandrake article: http://www.mandrakesoft.com/company/press/pr?n=/pr/products/2546 Some food for thought perhaps? What do people think of Mandrake (yet again) changing their release cycles and naming conventions?
