Towards faster releases

2014-02-18 Thread Stephen Connolly

Well all this will be for the moment is a reminder that the best tests we have say it is releasable and that a *human* can think about cutting a release. Right now it will fail to notify because there are failing integration tests (need a 3.2.1 in central to fix the three failing tests) If we

Perhaps a stupid question, however if no change goes in, and it kicks off and gives the same gold star as the previous week, then there's no point to releasing it, because it's the same thing, what takes care of this? Just the human going well, actually there were no commits, so this email is

Looking for common ground here, how about we start by documenting the core release procedure so that someone else could plausibly take a turn? Without knowing the details of the release process, I don't see how I could disagree with JvZ. It mostly seems to me that Stephen's desired schedule
