Anyway, I'd be interested to hear what everyone thinks and I'd like to learn what the mechanism is for implementing it. Is implementation merely telling Jeremy or Jesse what branch to pull from? Or do we have to do more?
In other projects, upstream picks a time to make a 'release' of a tarball. Then downstream distros, like Fedora, would decide when to consume that tarball and push it out to their users.
Personally I'd like to see 0.6 be The Shipped mock for FC6. Once we start development toward FC7 (when we branch all packages for FC-6 / FE-6), we can then look at either packaging a cvs snapshot of HEAD, or the mock upstream could pick a time to make a "0.7" release. Downstream, Extras, I would package either the snapshot or the 0.7 release into development and our happy rawhide users would get to beat up on it. Hopefully we'd be able to reach some sort of stability with the feature set of 0.7 by the time FC7Test2 or FC7Test3 is ready to ship, and 0.7 could be "The Mock" for FC7 (neat that the numbers line up...)
Soon we should figure out what feature set we would want to be happy with for the magical 1.0 release of mock, and shoot for a timeline. Then the fun starts (:
