Hi devs,
5.4RC1 is due today but as far as I can see in
http://jira.xwiki.org/issues/?jql=fixVersion%20in%20%28%225.4-rc-1%22%29%20…
14 issues still open for 5.4RC1... We’re indeed in not a very good shape to release :)
we are quite a bit short on that. I know at least that
for XWIKI-9720
and XWIKI-9579 I will need at least several days then there is BFD and
ci is not all blue (as always when being close to a release...).
We could say it's ok we actually have one more week before final
release but I would prefer that Release Candidate to actually be a
release candidate for once so I propose to delay all that to 1 week
later which would give us:
* 5.4RC1: 27th of January 2014
* 5.4: 3rd of Feb 2014
So this means pushing the final date by one week.
WDYT ?
+1, would be good to do a retrospective afterwards to understand why we slipped in order
to improve for next time. It would be so cool to be able to release on the defined date in
the future and we’ve been regularly slipping so far. Maybe there’s some strategy we could
adopt to prevent that (maybe we just take too much for the time we have or maybe there’s
something else that can be done or maybe there isn’t and it’s just issues that were found
at the last moment that couldn’t have been anticipated).
Thanks
-Vincent
Here is my +1.
