Of course! Why in hell should you make a release with nothing relevant
in it?

Both the release process are well as the upgrade process entail
a considerable amount of work. You do it only if it is worth the effort.

I wasn't proposing we do away with alphas or betas.  More concretely: I 
was simply wondering aloud about doing "true" time-based releases.  On a 
certain date we cut the first alpha, on a certain date we cut the first 
beta, etc..  Of course, there must be /some/ flexibility to deal with 
ultra-critical bugs, but we already do something similar with how we 
treat release candidates.


I believe that the trunk is good enough to produce a release at (almost) 
any given time.  If bugs are known and unfixed when we do a release, we 
document them (they likely already exist in the previous released 
version, so we're not doing any harm there).


Again, this is all from my Zope 3 perspective, I'm not immersed in the 
Zope 2 world, so these ideas may not be applicable there.

Can you let us know what issue is that? Also, I don't believe the

As Plone was mentioned as a an argument for scheduling releases, I
should probably explain our current release strategy.

Similar to Zope 2.8 we had a Plone 2.1 release that took more than 18
months to complete. After that we aimed for the next release (called
2.5) to ship six month after that. Here we tried to copy the new Zope
release schedule. But while we tried hard to get a release out in time,
we did not succeed with it and ended up with a 9 month release cycle.

Now we again aimed for a release six month after 2.5 but we had to
adjust our roadmap already and right now we aim for another 9 month
release cycle.

> What do you think about a 9 month release cycle?

Based on the Plone experience I think this is a good compromise, between
release often and stable releases.

I think the egg-story is one candidate for being too big, and a possible
reason to shift the release schedule. Then again, we do not need the egg
story to land in the upcoming release anyway.

The goal is not release early, release often, but to get back to our 
regular release schedule. After all, we already had 3 months to add code 
to Zope 2 and Zope 3 trunk that will be included in the next release, as 
I believe they branched at the time.


Could you explain the reasons for the coming 3 months being too short in 
this particular case? What features are we adding to Zope 2 or Zope 3 
that make it too short and thus would result in a not-solid-enough release?


I think the egg-story is one candidate for being too big, and a possible 
reason to shift the release schedule. Then again, we do not need the egg 
story to land in the upcoming release anyway.

Martijn

Is the reasoning here that since a release cycle has taken 9 months, so
should the next? I'm not convinced expanding the release cycle is going
to make us be on time more.


Not really, just a thought in order to stick with the June/December
cycle...but not really an important argument.




If we want to stick with the half-yr cycles, we need to schedule the
next release for around March/April next yr. Thoughts?


That's one option. The other option is to stick with the plan and catch
up, as Christian Theune proposed. It would mean getting very unambitious,
but perhaps that isn't a bad idea. The idea of a release is to have a
reasonably stable, known-good version of the trunk, and it doesn't matter
that much how much the trunk changes.

Anyway, if the main thing holding up *this* release is bugfixes, doing a
new release in 3 months shouldn't be a problem, as after all, we've
already fixed those bugs this time around. :)


3 month for a new release cycle is just too short. We should not follow the
IMO broken concept of "release early, release often" but to follow "release
regular, release solid". At least me I refuse to release something just for 
the sake of making a release at a certain date.

[Zope-dev] ZODB.tests.testZODB.checkResetCachesAPI definitely bad

2006-09-12 Thread Stefan H. Holek
These errors are *also* due to  
ZODB.tests.testZODB.checkResetCachesAPI. The cache reset appears to  
leave the Application object and/or transactions in a borked state.


All is well when I suppress checkResetCachesAPI:

checkResetCachesAPI' --all

[Zope-dev] Release schedule for Zope 2.11/3.4?

2006-09-12 Thread Andreas Jung

Hi all,

since we are three month late with the current releas, it would make sense
to reschedule Zope 2.11/3.4 for July (or was it June) next yr?! If we want 
to stick with the half-yr cycles, we need to schedule the next release

for around March/April next yr. Thoughts?
