Hooray! >I have only two questions: > - Am I accepted? MWAHAHAHAHAHA, WELCOME TO YOUR DOOM! By which I mean, "yes". radix and exarkun have both dedicated some effort to making this release happen, and I'm sure we'll all continue to help you in this role, but there has been a discernable ... lack of enthusiasm for anyone to wear the official "release manager" hat. We all appreciate your brave sacrifice. > - Where do I begin? There is a ticket, <http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/ticket/3860>, which you will now find is assigned to you. Some work has already taken place to update the NEWS files on a branch for that ticket, which is the bulk of the work associated with the releases, but it's not complete. Also, since this branch was made, some features have been added and some regressions fixed, so it should be merged forward. So, you should start with those two things. Once that's done, it needs to be reviewed and merged, like a regular branch. Since you've been so gracious as to be the release manager, I'll volunteer for some deputy- release-manager responsibilities and be personally responsible for that review. I don't mind if somebody beats me to it, but let me know when you think you'll be done and I'll make an effort to be available on IRC to do the review immediately once you're done. There are still some outstanding tickets in the "8.2+1" milestone: you should either harass someone to fix them, or remove them from the milestone and roll them over into a new one, so that they don't linger past the actual release: <http://bit.ly/twisted-9-milestone>. Finally, you have to actually cut the release. A bewildering array of out-of-date, incomplete, and incorrect information about how to do that can be found here: <http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/wiki/ReleaseProcedure> and can be inferred from here: <http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/wiki/ReleaseAutomation> Chris can correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the most up-to-date and correct information is to be found encoded in the tools linked from tickets on the ReleaseAutomation page. There are a couple of command- line tools which you have to run, and once you've got their output it should be fairly obvious what to do. Thanks again, and good luck! _______________________________________________ Twisted-Python mailing list Twisted-Python@twistedmatrix.com http://twistedmatrix.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/twisted-python
