0.45.1 (released slightly after Feisty was released) was essentially unavailable to Ubuntu users until Gutsy was released 6 months later. This was particularly upsetting to me, because ironically I'd invested a considerable amount of time coordinating 0.45.1 in order to benefit Ubuntu, yet it turned out that every operating system *except* Ubuntu ended up including it.
Dunno for most everyone else, but I'm starting to feel a little lost in the thread.
Agreed, and agreed with Ishmal that it sure would be nice if half the energy that went into this thread was directed at producing patches to fix the issue. ;-)
Could we possibly have a risks estimation for all cases?
Or, at least,
- define date of release for all platforms;
- define date of release to be in time for both FC9 and Hardy;
- define date of release to be in time for just Hardy.
March 13th would be the last possible date for Hardy. I can't speak definitively for FC9, but their beta-freeze is the 4th; they ship beta earlier than Ubuntu but ship their final release after, so the strictness of their beta may be a touch less. So possibly we could go as late as the 13th.
Do we have any *other* showstoppers left ?
There are 8 milestoned bugs remaining, only one of which is critical. Three bugs including the critical one have people working on patches, and need testing feedback. Three are Win32 bugs relating to extensions. The other two have to do with issues when importing SVG files, which I'm not sure really qualify as "showstoppers" and that I think can be pushed to 0.46.1 or 0.47.
P.S. Please remember that not all of the translations are in the best shape right now.
What are the issues?
