Press releases can lag behind, but I hope that this time the Windows
and OSX installers will be released together with the main tarball.
I agree, but I have not heard from Ronald or Martin about that yet.
That's because you didn't ask, I guess.
Probably so, though today's release has been advertised for months.
Ronald, are you still planning on building the OS X installer? I
believe we also want Sean to build the RPMs.
Here's what might work: I will build the source tarball as normal,
uploading everything to dinsdale. I'll fiddle the web site locally
but
not commit the changes, so they won't become public yet. I'll send a
message here when everything's ready and then if we hear from
Ronald and
Martin, they can build the binaries. As long as it's October 1st
somewhere in the world, we won't be lying. :)
If I don't hear from them though, I will push the big red button just
before midnight my time (US/Eastern, UTC-0400). We'll have to back-
load
the binaries tomorrow.
I certainly won't be able to produce binaries before 8:00 UTC,
October 2. I'll be asleep for the coming hours, then commute, etc.
I must admit that I'm fairly unhappy how coordination with other
people
works when creating releases. Anthony Baxter did a better job. This
started by asking whether the people involved have actually time to
work on the release, at the day in question.
Yes, I should have been more proactive in getting everyone
coordinated, but as I say we've all known about today's release date
for a very long time. I accept responsibility though. I know I suck
and will happily resign if another sucke^H^H^H^H^Hvolunteer wants to
step up for next time :).
We'll just have to get the additional binaries when they're
available. Benjamin can do the OS X releases if necessary.
