Re: [trinity-devel] R14 hard freeze for RC1

As I alluded to before while these things are certainly possible the sheer size of TDE (well over 150 separate GIT repositories) tends to make temporary anything impractical--I spend more time setting it up, managing it, and tearing it down than any time saved in between. There are limits to what I can do with the build farm due to Debian requiring monotonically increasing version numbers. Likely there would need to be a separate R14 PPA that tracks the "master" of the R14 branch; this is not feasible at this time due to the sheer size of the R14 archive and paucity of financial support. Look at it this way--if we started doing things like this (multiple 30GB PPAs of the same project at slightly different code revisions) on the free public Launchpad system we would be restricted very rapidly if not kicked off entirely. PPAs on Launchpad are only 2GB in size for a reason--it gets very expensive very fast to scale out, and no one is directly paying for the space they use in Launchpad. Same applies here. :-) I am working on the new site right now, so I probably won't be tracking this discussion closely. I'll come back to it once RC1 is out, so please don't finalize anything in my absence.
