[equinox-dev] Reminders for Kepler SR1 ... and Luna M2

[David M Williams <david_williams@xxxxxxxxxx>]

This Wednesday's M-build (8/14, 8 AM, Eastern)
is our planned contribution to Kepler SR1 RC1. (Unless re-builds are explicitly
requested). 

The good news, is that "RC1"
is considered "warm-up" and there is no official testing or sign-off
planned (traditionally). Though, naturally, what ever informal sanity-check
testing you can do is good. 

The "bad" news is that just
two weeks after that we start weekly RC's (for 2,3, and 4 being "final
build" for SR1) -- and that tight schedule highly overlaps with our
Platform delivery of Luna M2 (+0). 

Please plan for this overlap, and budget
your time accordingly ... including realistic bug triage. 

I have just now captured this in our
"build schedule" [1] but let me know if anyone sees errors or
omissions. 

For reference, see also the Platform's
Kepler SR1 end game plan [2] and if needed, the overall Kepler SR1 Simultaneous
Release Plan schedule [3].
