Hi everybody, since there is quite a number of new maintainers (me, for one!) and CRUX 1.4 is coming, I think it would be interesting to know something about the upgrade experiences of previous CRUX releases by the "historical ones". What were the main issues in previous releases? Was the process s "spontaneous" or there was some formal or informal coordination between the maintainers? If I remember well it took some time to upgrade the clc port tree during the 1.1 > 1.2 transtion, was it only a matter of overloaded maintainers or there where technical issues? Just curious. Best regards, Simone

I know I'm not a "historical one," but it took me a long time because my computer is slow; which is probably why I rushed to check-in all the changes once everything was built. Last time, Matt had already built a lot of the GNOME ports before I'd even gotten started, so he tagged them--and I felt relieved (thanks again Matt). Anyway, I like the thought of having a machine dedicated to building the ports and notifying us when something doesn't work right. With something like that setup, we would probably only need a few days to get everything fairly well in line--with the right timing and a pre-release, we might even be able to get the ports tagged in sync with the release. (Not that I've ever had a problem, really, with the way things are now). BTW, it was Thanksgiving here in the States and I ate /really/ well and I thought I'd share that with everybody :-P -- Robert McMeekin <rrm3@rrm3.org> http://www.rrm3.org/
