Re: [Tails-dev] Release versioning

I've gone through this thread and a quick copy'n'paste summary is: * always increment the first number with major Debian version * also increment the first number whenever it make sense for Tails only (user-visible changes) * second number: even for bugfix releases, odd for major ones * we allow ourselves to skip numbers if we release two major or two minor releases in a row (eg. 1.7 followed by 1.9). * add an extra 3rd number for emergency releases I might have found a bug in our new version numbering scheme... We're saying, regarding the second number, odd = major and even = minor. But at the same time 2.0 = major (or actually super major). But zero is even [1]. Maybe we should consider using even = minor and odd = major instead.

Re: [Tails-dev] [tor-qa] Tor Browser 5.0 is ready for testing!
Georg Koppen: Mike Perry: https://people.torproject.org/~mikeperry/builds/5.0-build2/ This release is our first stable release based on Firefox 38-ESR. We've done a lot of work to ensure that this release is minimally disruptive in terms of changes to the UI/UX, but some hacks were needed, especially to ensure the Tiles feature was disabled, and to clean up the NoScript whitelist. The current Firefox 31-ESR is end-of-life on Tuesday, August 11th, so we need to switch all users to 5.0 for them to pick up security updates. As such, extra testing would be appreciated! FWIW: One thing we already found and which unfortunately makes a build3 necessary is the incompatibility with the localized language packs. I was under the impression (wrongly as it turns out) that Mozilla fixed their versioning scheme we get with the git checkouts starting with their esr38 cycle and forgot to doublecheck that. If anyone was waiting for build3 before testing (which was a bad idea), it is now ready: https://people.torproject.org/~mikeperry/builds/5.0-build3/ Please test. -- Mike Perry signature.asc Description: Digital signature ___ Tails-dev mailing list Tails-dev@boum.org https://mailman.boum.org/listinfo/tails-dev To unsubscribe from this list, send an empty email to tails-dev-unsubscr...@boum.org.
[Tails-dev] Low hanging fruit session: Wednesday August 12
The next low-hanging fruit session is scheduled for: Wednesday 12 August #tails-dev on irc.oftc.net 9 pm in Paris 8 pm in London 3 pm in New-York 12 pm in San Francisco Everyone interested in contributing to Tails is welcome! The idea is to spend a while together on many small tasks that take less than 2 hours each. Not only these sessions are very useful to make Tails better, but we were happy to see new people joining recently. We hope to see even more of that in the future as these sessions are great times to start contributing to Tails! For newcomers, the list of easy tickets should be a great place to start: https://tails.boum.org/contribute/easy_tasks/ During these meetings, we exceptionally allow ourselves to do the review merge process on IRC instead of the usual email-based workflow, so this should all go pretty smoothly. We'll also try to handle bug fixes for the next release that are not assigned to anybody. ___ Tails-dev mailing list Tails-dev@boum.org https://mailman.boum.org/listinfo/tails-dev To unsubscribe from this list, send an empty email to tails-dev-unsubscr...@boum.org.
