Hi devs,
I'd like to propose that we always go through Nexus staging from now on for our Main
and Bugfix releases. The process would be:
1) Release to a staged repo (with the final version name)
2) Send a testing mail on devs and users lists to allow people to test the release. Note:
we don't make the release avail on
xwiki.org, just a mail is sent.
3) Wait for 48 hours
4) Promote the staged release to final and finish the release process (
xwiki.org update,
announcements, etc)
We could start with 2.5.
- Note 1: This means that in our release dates we should allow for 2 days more in order
not to be late because of this.
- Note 2: This is not for milestones or RC. Just for final and bugfix releases.
WDYT?
Thanks
-Vincent
