From: David Faure <david@mandrakesoft.com>
Here's a proposal for the schedule of the next koffice releases
: (also available on
http://developer.kde.org/development-versions/koffice-1.1-release-pl
an.html)
This schedule plans a beta 3, a release candidate, and then
1.1-final, with a translated-message freeze of ... hmm, 2 months
(maybe that's longer than necessary ?).
KOffice 1.1 Beta 3
- Monday June 11 The HEAD branch of KOffice is frozen : no new
features, bugfixes commits only, no commit that modifies an
application's behaviour, and *message freeze*. This freeze
will last till the release of KOffice 1.1!
- Monday June 18 The HEAD branch of CVS is tagged
KOFFICE_1_1_BETA3, and tarballs are made. They are made public
immediately, and given to packagers for creation of binary
packages.
- Monday June 25 Announce KOffice 1.1 Beta 3
KOffice 1.1 Release Candidate
- Monday July 9 KOffice goes into deep-freeze. All commits should
be posted for review first.
- Monday July 16 The HEAD branch of CVS is tagged
KOFFICE_1_1_RC1, and tarballs are made. They are made public
immediately, and given to packagers for creation of binary
packages.
- Monday July 23 Announce KOffice 1.1 Release Candidate
KOffice 1.1 final
- Sunday August 5 Last day for translations, documentation, icons
and critical bugfixes commits.
- Monday August 6 The HEAD branch of CVS is tagged
KDE_2_2_RELEASE and the day is spent testing the release a final
time.
- Tuesday August 7 The tarballs are made and released to the
packagers.
The rest of the week is spent testing the tarballs, packaging
and writing the announcement and changelog.
- Friday August 10 The source and binary packages are uploaded to
ftp ftp.kde.org to give some time
for the mirrors to get them.
- Monday August 13 Announce KOffice 1.1.
Feedback welcome !
