Re: [cdt-dev] 8.5 release

 

It is true that if we were on our own, a timeline of June-December would seem best.

However, we cannot avoid the SR1 and SR2 releases from the train.  With this in mind

our choices are:

 

Luna – June 2014

SR1 – Sept 2014 (3 months later)

SR2 – Feb 2015 (5 months later)

Mars – June 2015 (3 months later)

 

or

 

Luna – June 2014

SR1 – Sept 2014 (3 months later)

CDT Dec release (3 months later)

SR2 – Feb 2015 (2 months later)

Mars – June 2015 (3 months later)

 

The value of a December release would then be to release 2 months earlier to the users.

Is that worth the overhead and complexity of having a 4th and non-aligned release?

I personally don’t think so.  The users are already getting features 9 months and 4 months

faster than what we used to provide.

Furthermore, it would make the SR2 release so close behind that it would pretty much be useless

(but yet, we’d have to do it anyway).

 

So with our current schedule, short features can be provided 3 months after the summer

release, while bigger ones arrive 8 months after the summer release, and we keep the overhead

smaller.

P.S. If we were to discuss a floating release time or an almost continuous release cycle, then

things may be different.  But if we are to fix a date for a release, might as well coincide with

a release we are doing already.

I think so. 6 months is the sweet spot IMHO. A Dec release works. If we get the check for updates working properly, we can release the CDT any time. As long as the C++ IDE points to the right repo we can just update it.
