Why do we Release openSUSE on Thursdays - or why do we Slip?
openSUSE 11.1 Beta3 is a bit later than expected (it should go out later today). Of course, this raised couple of questions why. So let me explain how a build of a Beta release works in general from release manager perspective and what are the reasons for the slip.
The usual process we use can be summarized as follows:
>> Friday afternoon our build team (it’s called actually “autobuild team” - autobuild standing for automatic builds and I’ll use that phrase here) reviews and checks in all the packages in the review queue.
Note: Since our autobuild team is located in Germany, all times are Nuernberg local time: Friday afternoon translates to Friday 15:00 CET/CEST (depending on season) and Monday evening to Monday 18:00 CET/CEST.
>> Over the weekend the submitted, reviewed and checked-in packages are building - and also packages using these.
>> So, monday morning a first test build is created to assess the state of the build. This is just a basic installation test to see that the installation work flow is ok and that the packages itself install.
>> If we encounter any bugs during this, these are reported via bugzilla.
