Re: [Wikitech-l] (Roughly) 2 week delay for MediaWiki 1.21wmf7

2012-12-19 Thread Denny Vrandečić
This looks very well for us. Just one thing: Phase 4 of 1.21wmf7 should
probably be Monday, January 14, not January 11.

Cheers,

 Hi everyone,

 Because a number of people are planning to take time off for the
 holidays, I'd like to postpone the regular release cycle for 2 weeks,
 with 1.21wmf7 being a slightly longer window than normal, and 1.21wmf8
 stretched out a little bit as well to accommodate MLK day (January
 21).

 Here's what things will look like in the revised schedule:

 1.21wmf7:
 *  Wednesday, January 2 (test, test2, mediawiki.org, wikidata.org)
 *  Monday, January 7 (non-Wikipedia)
 *  Wednesday, January 9  (English Wikipedia)
 *  Monday, January 11 (other Wikipedia)

 1.21wmf8
 *  Wednesday, January 16 (test, test2, mediawiki.org, wikidata.org)
 *  Wednesday, January 23 (non-Wikipedia)
 *  Monday, January 28 (English Wikipedia)
 *  Wednesday, January 30 (other Wikipedia)

 We would then resume the normal cadence Monday, February 4 when we
 deploy 1.21wmf9.

 The nice thing about doing things this way is that the cycle stretches
 out the time that 1.21wmf7 and 1.21wmf8 sit on test2 over the normal
 cycle, which gives us a little more time to notice problems.

 Any objections?  I don't think there's room to keep the standard
 cycle, but there's plenty of tweaking around the edges we can make.
