Wrong attitude at this point of time. We are almost there and don't need to jump the gun (that's what you suggest). Let's carefully review whether all showstoppers for an RC1 have been solved. If this is the case then I'm indeed all for releasing RC1. If this is not the case then we should either consider postponing tagging for a week or we should just go for releasing Beta5 instead. At this point of time it's clearly obvious that we don't need to fear that it will take eternally to get KDE4 out of the door. I think it would be helpful if the release dude would ask the people involved with the last few showstoppers when those showstoppers will be fixed. Based on that we should decide how to proceed. I remember that this was done for earlier releases. It helped to make people commit themselves to get the release out of the door soon while at the same time making sure that we'd adhere to our quality standards. -- Torsten Rahn Tel.: 0 21 61 - 46 43 - 192 credativ GmbH, HRB Mönchengladbach 12080 Hohenzollernstr. 133, 41061 Mönchengladbach Geschäftsführung: Dr. Michael Meskes, Jörg Folz _______________________________________________ release-team mailing list [email protected] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/release-team
