But what I think we can and should do is to allow several days of testing of a final release candidate with TOTAL freeze on CVS, and requiring a certain nunder of people to OK it before it is released.
Sounds good. When the time comes to make the total freeze, do you want me to restrict down CVS commit access to the change control person for the last few days, or just trust that nobody will commit without authorization?
Okay, here's what I'm thinking...
As soon as I get distcheck up and running again I'll make a '0.39pre1', just to test out the release system. The goal will to make several of these 'preX' releases (hopefully not several, but a couple) and then promote one up to '0.39'. The promotion criteria can be discussed, but I think it should be several people saying "It's okay".
I think that the problem with 0.38 is that I was both the guy making the final changes and saying "It's okay". So, to ensure that it won't happen again I think more voices will be a good thing.
Sound good?
