I don't think this is right. You've now moved the RC compose a week
later from where it was before.
Bill
I haven't moved anything, I just changed the names.
Please tell me what the correct "compose RC date" is. Thinking about it
a little more I'm still not clear on our methodology. We need a few
specific dates that fit to get the time frame correct:
1) Date blocker list must be clear or slip the release
2) Date build RC (same day or day after #1)
3) <input from QA on how many days to test the RC w/ allowance for
finding problems in RC>
Note that #3 must be done by Thursday 2009-10-29 to start staging the
content to the mirrors for GA on 2009-11-03.
We also need to decide now what our contingency plan and schedule
consequences will be if the blocker list is not clear for #1.
When is the meeting between Releng and QA to review the schedule? I'd
like to be there.
Thanks,
John
