Hi all,
Once the critical bugs are fixed, we will establish the stable branch for 0.37 and the release team can get to work on packaging and creation of binaries. Once we have binaries for Windows, OSX, and a couple common linux distros, we can begin sending out announcements. :-)
On the roadmap there is a tag "Upload debs to debian unstable" which is probably meant to be done by me. I wanted to wait until the tar.gz packages are available and use them to create the packages. I can also so a backport to woody for the sparc architecture, which Nathan Hurst can put in the sf download section. This way the packages will be ready one to two days after I get the tar.gz. I haven't been working on the cvs-packages due to constant lack of time. Hopefully this will change soon.
Cool thanks. Yes we will allocate several days between when the final tar.gz is available and when we put out the public announce, to give packagers time. I will post some additional info for packagers this weekend for e.g. package naming convention, etc. Meanwhile, if you get a spare moment, feel free to test the packaging so we can head off potential problems early.
Thanks, Bryce
