As Albert says, it's really a difference in perception. We decide to put tarballs up as soon as possible, even while we're still testing them. If we decided to run a test before that, we'd have people asking for it right away as well. That is really easy to solve: Only build the tarballs we actually put our "final" tag on. You'll have the updates later in your repos, but you won't get any of the smoke test problem. -- sebas http://www.kde.org | http://vizZzion.org | GPG Key ID: 9119 0EF9 _______________________________________________ release-team mailing list [email protected] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/release-team
