Re: New release plan

What about translations in the core? would we put the same restraints?

Personally, I am very inconsistent in the delays between 2 commits to the French translation; sometimes a couple of days, sometimes one month. I don't see myself paying much attention to days when I should commit. Not that I don't want to.

For plugins or just for hudson core?

Just Hudson core.

As you know, lately we are suffering a quality problem in releases. There
are multiple things we need to do to fix that, such as more tests and early
regression testing with plugins, but it's also clear that we need to adjust
the release process.

So this is the proposal to make that adjustment.

- Let's shoot for once-a-week release cycle, on Friday evening pacific
?time.

- We allow commits freely in Sat, Sun, Mon, and Tue. Tuesday evening
?is RC cut off.

- We reserve Wed, Thu, and Fri as the quiet period.
?We make commits to the core conservatively, and I'll use this period
?to deploy RC bits to my production Hudson to be a guinea pig.

- This should give us more time to write tests.


I know there will be all sorts of different ways to do releases, and I don't
want to argue which is better than which. So my main question is, putting my
dictator hat on, is this something that people can live with?
