[Ganglia-developers] Preparing for 3.1.3
As discussed a few weeks back, I'm volunteering to manage the 3.1.3 release. Most of the changes were made a few weeks ago now, and I've been running some of these patches on several platforms for some time, so I don't think we need to allow a lot of time for additional testing. What I'd propose is that 3.1.3 is tagged Friday as a beta, and if it is good, then we make it GA two weeks later. If problems are found, then 3.1.3 will not be made GA, and we will aim to gather feedback and release 3.1.4 in 2-3 weeks. I'm also happy to be the release manager for that follow-up release if it becomes necessary. I note that part of the release process involves setting the release name for the next release - is this up to the release manager's initiative, or are there some rules for this? -- Come build with us!

Re: [Ganglia-developers] Preparing for 3.1.3
Hi all: Sounds good. After you tag it, I believe the process is to generate the tarball and put it up in the website's beta area, and have people test it. After the release is marked as GA, then we can create a release in SourceForge and upload the files there. I could handle all that. BTW, I would be busy starting early Friday afternoon, so if possible, could you tag 3.1.3 early Friday? BTW, what timezone are we talking about ;-) And regarding the release name -- Matt started the tradition with aviation themes. I have somewhat deviated with Garriott http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Garriott (Space theme). But I think you can use your discretion for this ;-) Thanks for stepping up!
