Re: [Inkscape-devel] Inkscape 0.48.3.1

      Okay...
Well, this issue clearly demonstrates the danger of the bus factor. We
have one rather experienced packager on OSX who has been unavailable.
We also have ~suv, who wants to learn more about it (has proposed
modifications and questions) but the "mentor" in this situation has
been unavailable in that context as well. Hopefully at some point
Michael can write in-depth on the wiki about making the super-awesome
packages and how to set up a build machine akin to the one he had
which I believe died on him.
As the Release Warden I am very torn in this situation. In the past
there has been community backlash when we've announced a release and
packages have been unavailable for a specific platform. They
effectively feel like they're second class citizens. Knowing this, I
really feel like I need to hold a hard line about not making any
announcement. However, given that this is an open and community
project, as well as at this point a substantial amount of time has
passed, I'm putting it up to a vote.
This vote applies only to core contributors (devs, translators, & bug
mavens) and will be open for 1 week.
Option 1: Do nothing until we can get proper packages for OSX.
Option 2: Do not make announcements and quietly update links where possible.
Option 3: Make announcements and apologize and explain why we have
left out a group of our users.
Please do take into consideration that for Option 3, if you do not
help users daily (whether via IRC, forums, twitter, or various other
methods) you are putting others on the front line for to deal with
upset users. However, it may also lessen their burden of having to
repeatedly tell users in bug reports that their bug is fixed and where
to get the update. (please think of ~suv and others)
Cheers,
Josh
