Let us postpone this until i have the script ready. I think the discussion is needed but currently a bit difficult because it is all really theoritcal
now.

It is all very theoritical because people took a simple and pragmatic
proposal
(do not change any macro, just use different values: 7x for alpha, 8x
for beta
and 9x for rc) and overengineered it.

I am not sure what we are trying to solve there, it feels like an overkill.

I do not like maskerading pre releases as stable version. Version numbers have a
clear semantic meaning. And KDE currently breaks that.

I will never do things in a way because it was always done that way if there are clear points showing it is wrong or not optimal. Especially if noone remembers the reasons for that or is able to come up with any guess why. And that is the situation here.

But if the dicussion here shows stuff gets to complicated otherwise i have no problem
in not changing anything. But i need to discuss and brainstorm FIRST.

AND i will document once and for all why we are doing things the way we do. As a reference
for everyone who wonders.

The other why.

If i succeed in scripting the complete release process i would like to setup weekly snapshots. Because i consider them the "continuus integration" of the release
process.

Please tell me how those fit into the current scheme and we consider it.

Mike
