I have written some documentation at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeBasedReleases which explains how our time-based release process works, and why we have a freeze process. We also have a documented process for requesting freeze exceptions here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/Processes/UVF To have a release schedule aligned with Kubuntu's would mean that feature development concluded on 7th September, and that only important bug fixes were being made at this time. There is much more to the release process than pushing in new packages before the final release date. -- - mdz -- UVFe ( main ) for konversation 1.0 to 1.0.1 https://launchpad.net/bugs/64488 -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
