tyme Posted March 30, 2004 Report Share Posted March 30, 2004 looks about normal to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquidzoo Posted March 30, 2004 Report Share Posted March 30, 2004 Seems a little fast for a release to me...10.0 Official isn't due out until May and that is saying Sept 15 for 10.1 Official. That's only 4 months instead of the normal 6-8, but other than that it looks fine to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtweidmann Posted March 30, 2004 Report Share Posted March 30, 2004 I suppose it depends on where you measure from, after all 10CE will have been around for a good deal longer and the final release of 10 is just patched rather than updated.

Qchem Posted March 30, 2004 Report Share Posted March 30, 2004 It's almost 6 months (ok maybe more like 5) between the CE's, perhaps thats what we'll have to look for... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sitor Posted March 30, 2004 Report Share Posted March 30, 2004 It seems that the time in between CE and Official will be smaller (not even a month). In that case, will the bugs really be cleaned enough before Official? Will not a lot of people prefer to wait for those three weeks? In that case the whole point of having a CE might become endangered! Ciao, Sitor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramfree17 Posted March 30, 2004 Report Share Posted March 30, 2004 Seems a little fast for a release to me...10.0 Official isn't due out until May and that is saying Sept 15 for 10.1 Official. That's only 4 months instead of the normal 6-8, but other than that it looks fine to me. i guess this is what is called a "sliced-approach"; a team works on release X and while release X is somewhere near the middle, another team is dispatched to lay the groundwork for release X+1. ciao!

DragonMage Posted March 30, 2004 Report Share Posted March 30, 2004 Either that or the jump from 10.0 to 10.1 is not as demanding in terms of development as 9.2 to 10.0. The developers probably know a few tricks in making 10.x series works now.. (such as what patches to include in kernel 2.6, improvement on the draktools etc). So the time difference between 10.1 CE and 10.1 Official is not as big as the case with 10.0 Of course, it's a expected timeline.. it can change.

Huerzo Posted April 1, 2004 Report Share Posted April 1, 2004 (edited) That development plan really seems challenging, but maybe Mandrake's decision to release more Betas and develop better bug reporting tools makes it possible. At least I've been quite impressed of speed Linus & co develop kernel. Linus mentioned that their development speed was improved by a source code manager. Maybe Mandrake has also a similar system? But it's sure that software development, programming languages (and editors) and project tools have improved a lot recent years. Maybe the release tempo we have used to think is old and tempo will be faster and faster. It would really be a good sign to see IT development reach the same level other business projects have. I mean, only 20% of IT projects are completely succesful - that's too low a level. And of course, MDK10 will be a major one. 10.1 etc. will be probably minor tweaks and bug fixes, but ttey'll surely include also new KDE versions, for example. MDK10CE really seems to be "a killer tux", when the majority of annoying bugs are fixed... Edited April 1, 2004 by Huerzo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarissi Posted April 3, 2004 Report Share Posted April 3, 2004 Going from 2.6.x to 2.6.x is not as big a development headache as 2.4.x to 2.6.x. I feel that 2.6.x is a huge upgrade from 2.4.x kernels. One thing we have learned, is that mandrake X.2 release is not always going to be as rock solid as 8.2 was (first truly rock solid version).
