In an attempt to be a bit more organized about FAS releases, give
translators a chance to get their work in, etc, I'm going to propose
a schedule for the next Fedora Account System release.
January 14, 2012 -- FUDCon hackfest day -- make a prerelease for
people to see the process. Push to stg.
January 15, 2012 -- last hackfest day of FUDCon -- bugfix for any stg
issues, update stg with new prerelease if necessary. Announce to
translators list that a release is coming up.
January 16-18, 2012 -- Toshio on Vacation
January 21, 2012 -- String freeze; announce string freeze to
translators' list.
January 31, 2012 -- Release FAS 0.8.11; push to production
You'll notice that there's no actual Feature Freeze in there, just a
string freeze. So far, FAS hasn't had official feature freezes as
our testing procedures have been to deploy to stg and then test new
features and test that old features aren't obviously broken. We've
been small enough that we've just held off on committing large
changes at this time -- sticking with bugfixes or easily reviewed
features instead.
If we get to the point where we have enough committers that this is
a problem, we should think about having a trunk and a release branch
but I don't think that time has arrived yet.
Sounds like a completely reasonable plan. ;)
