I thought may be putting together a release schedule would help making
3.2 closer to reality.
I would really like to see it out some time before the next ApacheCon US
(10-14 December). I've submitted a mod_python talk and if it gets
approved, it'd be nice to be able to discuss the new/fixed things in 3.2.
Just to remind everyone how a release works - first a tar file is
produced, which is announced only on the list. A few people on the list
(3 or more preferabley) need to test it and send in their +1's (or
-1's). If all is well, the file is released to the public, else we
repeat this cycle.
I think that 3.2 should initially be relased as 3.2.0 beta, with a plan
to release 3.2.X as stable a few weeks later.
Make sense to me.
Assuming that the release iteration will take 3 weeks (this is a worst
case scenario),
Aug 15 3.2.0b private release
Sep 7 3.2.Xb approved for public release
Nov 7 3.2.Y private release
Nov 15 3.2.Y public release
[I'm using X and Y since we don't know what those numbers may be]
The Sep 7 - Nov 7 is a month for public testing of 3.2.Xb.
Does this sound like a plan?
This schedule looks good to me. I've been putting the finishing touches
on the docs for FileSession. (And making a couple of changes to
Session.py so that the code matches the docs ;) ). Should be done in 30
minutes.
Jim - do you think you'll be able to make a unix .tgz by Aug 15?
Making the tarball takes about 5 minutes, so yes, that would be fine.
A little off topic, but I was testing my documentation changes yesterday
and I noticed that the version was not getting changed in the generated
files. I had to make a small change in the sed script which does the
search and replace in modpython.tex. GNU sed was not escaping the
\\release properly; it was looking for a CR, not the desired
backslash-r. I had to double escape the r, ie \\\release to make it
work. Grisha, did you generate the docs on BSD before, and if so is the
BSD sed different? Weird. Anyway it works for me now and since I'm the
one that's making the tarball this time around I guess thats all that
counts. ;)
