And now for my proposal: Is it just my memory or is this not the first time we get a X.Y.1 release quite shortly after the X.Y.0 release? It seems to me like there are a lot more people who download and install the releases than there are people who follow the bleeding edge (or close after) using git. This means that a lot of bugs are only found when the releases are made and people try to install/use them. Quickly following the release a number of bug reports came in with various problems (installer not working correctly, etc.), many of which were quickly resolved. But for people with less technical skill these problems might seem like very severe, and users just wanting to test DragonFly out might come away with a negative impression. The root cause seems to be that there simply has not been enough testing before releasing, since most users will only run the released version. My proposal is that instead of releasing the code as X.Y.0 first make a X.Y.0 RC (Release Candidate). While the RC might not see as much usage as the final release there will still be many more users trying it out than the number of users following the code using git. Then a bit later when bugs have been found and fixed the real release can be made. Of course this is more or less what you are already doing, except for a change of names, X.Y.0 -> X.Y.0 RC, X.Y.1 -> X.Y.0. The only difference is that it will make casual users more aware of the fact that some problems are to be expected. -- Regards Erik Wikström
DragonFly 2.4.1 Released!
1-October-2009 DragonFly 2.4.1 has been released as promised! As we thought, a lot of minor but annoying issues cropped up with the huge 2.4.0 release. Most of the issues have been resolved in 2.4.1 and 2.4.1 is now available for download. Due to an unrelated issue with one of our primary mirror sites, if you do not see 2.4.1 on your favorite mirror you can download it from http://avalon.dragonflybsd.org/iso-images/ http://www.dragonflybsd.org/ http://www.dragonflybsd.org/release24 -Matt Matthew Dillon
New packages for 2.4 and 2.5
Binary pkgsrc packages for DragonFly 2.5 are uploaded: http://avalon.dragonflybsd.org/packages/i386/DragonFly-2.5/stable/ A newer set for DragonFly 2.4 will be available as soon as the upload completes - it's on the "f"s now. Both are built from pkgsrc-2009Q2. I anticipate pkgsrc-2009Q3 will be out in the next few days, and I'll start the next build using that, for 2.4(.1) and 2.5. I'll also provide build reports. I'll work on signed packages, too, though it will be a while, as that's a bit more complicated.
