Slavek, are we about ready to release? When you are done I am planning to do a mass copy of your packages into the main 3.5.13 release archive, as I see no reason to keep the original buggy 3.5.13 available to the general public.
Do I have any volunteers to write a press release for this event?
A few days ago I stated the following list of tasks:
- approve and include updated scripts
=> DONE - already included in v3.5.13-sru branch on 'tde'
- prepare v3.5.13-sru branch on the meta-project 'tde' I have done... I'm waiting for scripts, then I'll push it
=> DONE - switching between branches is now simple: git checkout _branch_ && scripts/switch_all_submodules_to_head_and_clean
- include patches to change path for documentation from kde/HTML to
tde/HTML => DONE in GIT - now I include this patches into packages, build again and checking. During checking, for example, I move a manpages, which could be in conflict with KDE4 packages. Due to thorough checking it may seem that I proceed slowly.
- ready for create tarballs and release
=> I would say that git tree is ready for testing with other distributions.
Once I have all the packages for Debian and Ubuntu updated and packagers for other distributions also will confirm "ready to release", release could be published. :)
Looks good!
I have set up an account on the wiki, so I can prepare a detailed changelog (for Etherpad is this article too long). Hovewer, report for the official announcement I can not prepare - as you know, in English, I am very weak.
Right, I am not asking you to do this. There are other members on this list who can read your master changelog and put a nice public relations face on it. ;-)
Regarding the original topic of this thread, I ran across this today: http://jehurst.wordpress.com/2012/02/23/my-last-kde-rant
I wonder how many other people just gave up after a while and don't know that TDE exists or is viable.
