Originally, I'd included any fixes which were applicable, including commits which introduce new strings or change strings. In hindsight this was a mistake - I don't think any string changes should be pulled into the 2.0 branch as this would then require translation updates/etc. So I'm going to re-go through my branch and remove these fixes. There's quite a lot of useful fixes which do apply nicely to 2.0, so I still think a point release is a good idea. I'll post an update when I've got my branch ready to merge. Thank you for your work Nyall. I think one important safety measure when doing point releases would be ensuring that the existing successful tests remains successful. I know it's not easy as there's no 100% succeeding testsuite right now (would help _a_lot_ to have one), but you could compare the runs between the two branches (2.0.1 and 2.0.2-dev). Ideally (one day) backports would not be allowed if without a testcase to prove the fix was needed :) --strk; ___ Qgis-developer mailing list Qgis-developer@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi! I guess if you have committed the fixes to the release-2_0 branch they will be taken anyway .. I am going to commit some german updates as well in that release branch ..

Re: [Qgis-developer] QGIS 2.0 point release?
It's fine for us that control the hardware we run stuff on but a lot of people don't and have to go though a major process to get an update. To that end, would it be possible to create an update that's more like a patch of the sort that Windows, ArcGIS, most-games use, rather than (or maybe on top of) an entirely new install? I realise this would be a lot of work to initially set up (I don't think QGIS has this ability yet?), but for end users, it would make keeping up to date much easier.

I have experimented with a couple of binary patch making tools, never could get any of them to really work but that is a good idea if someone has the skills. - Nathan On Fri, Nov 1, 2013 at 8:49 PM, Jonathan Moules jonathanmou...@warwickshire.gov.uk wrote: It's fine for us that control the hardware we run stuff on but a lot of people don't and have to go though a major process to get an update.

Re: [Qgis-developer] QGIS 2.0 point release?
Seems like a positive response all round, I'll get started... Do you have a plan about how to make sure, that the fixes did not introduce any regressions as side-effect? My plans are to push any bug fix only (no new features) commits across, but to exclude: - Any processing related commits (since that's been updated via the plugin mechanism) - Any specific packaging related commits (I'm assuming all commits required to build qgis 2.0 have already been push to the 2.0 branch, if not, i'll leave that up to the packagers who know the situation better then me) If a bug fix commit references an issue number I'll read up and check with any attached datasets/etc to make sure there's no side effects. If in doubt, I'll err on the side of caution and not port the commit. I'll also put together a list of commits I'm unsure about and post here for further input. I'm not sure about translation related commits - does anyone have any thoughts regarding this?

Re: [Qgis-developer] QGIS 2.0 point release?
Hi Nyall, I will happly release updated Packages for Fedora in my own Repo and I'm sure they will also be packaged for the official repository in Fedora 20. I am in favor of this plan. But the most heavily requested packages will probably be Ubuntu + OS X + Windows. So it would be nice to receive feedback of the respective maintainers. Do you have a plan about how to make sure, that the fixes did not introduce any regressions as side-effect?

Hi Nyall, thanks for your offer, very interesting. Of course packagers will have to bear much of the burden of a new release, so they have a say on this. On the other hand, AFAIK we are going to release more often, so I wonder if it is worth the while backporting fixes while releasing a new version, with the same bugs fixed.
