Also it's less about "so important" is it is not about releasing software with broken tests (even in minor ways). The build procedure for the binaries ensures that all the tests pass--obviously this can be bypassed if really needed but that's basically cheating. To that end we should also add a buildbot for Cygwin if that's how Volker determines whether or not a release is ready. I will work on that (I've only since come to understand that the 'patchbots' as opposed to 'buildbots' are merely advisory). Furthermore I can't release "SageMath 8.1" if it's not the source release tagged "8.1". At best I can release SageMath 8.1-1 or somesuch to indicate a patch level. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-release" group.
