Tickets in the tracker are sorted out by release major.minor, such as `3.0`,
|

`3.1` (trac calls this „milestone”).

Release schedule
|
||||
----------------
|
||||
|
||||
There is no specific schedule for major and minor other that more general
|
||||
roadmap. When time comes, Supreme Committee declares feature freeze and tags
|
||||
`-rc1` and releases ISO image. From this time on, no new features are accepted.
|
||||
Also a strict time schedule kicks in.
|
||||
|
||||
Each release candidate period is as follows. For the first two weeks we accept
|
||||
and assign bugreports to be fixed before next release candidate. For the next
|
||||
two weeks we generally focus on fixing assigned bugreports, so issues discovered
|
||||
during this time may be postponed until later RC. Finally after that there is
|
||||
one week of current-testing freeze, during which time no new packages are
|
||||
released, in hope that they will be installed by wider user base and tested.
|
||||
|
||||
The next RC is released five weeks after the former. All packets are published
|
||||
in `current` repository and the cycle starts over. There should be no less than
|
||||
1 and no more than 3 release candidates before final release.
|
||||
|
||||
<table>
|
||||
<thead>
|
||||
<tr><th>stage</th><th>time</th></tr>
|
||||
</thead>
|
||||
<tbody>
|
||||
<tr><td>initial testing</td><td>2 weeks</td></tr>
|
||||
<tr><td>bug fixing</td><td>2 weeks</td></tr>
|
||||
<tr><td>`current-testing` freeze</td><td>1 week</td></tr>
|
||||
</tbody>
|
||||
</table>
|
||||
|
||||
Starting with second cycle (that is, after `-rc1`) two weeks into the cycle
|
||||
(after primary bug-reporting period) the Supreme Committee decides wether there
|
||||
should be another RC. If, based on remaining issues, the Committee decides to
|
||||
release final, then the Committee agrees upon the release date, which should be
|
||||
no later than a week after.
