Am I the only one confused by talk of a 3.2 release? We haven’t released 3.1 yet shouldn’t that get done first?

3.1 was xmas release :slight_smile:

Colin was probably talking about 3.02, the isos currently produced in ABF

Sorry, 3.1 > 3.01.
Yes, 3.1 or 3.2 is an oversight :wink:

Seems like naming them 3.01 and 3.02 was a terrible idea. Colin consistently keeps calling them 3.1 and 3.2. If the president of the association can’t get the naming right…

Meeting logs here.

The president is only human and may make mistakes like everyone. There is a reason behind the 3.01, 3.02, …, 3.10, etc. pattern decision. You can see by yourself, isn’t it? :wink:

Guys and Gals if you look here http://abf-downloads.openmandriva.org/ I’m
assuming that the Christmas release was 3.1 so the next will be 3.2.
Reaonable?
Best,
Colin

The Christmas release was OMLx 3.01

Next upcoming release will be OMLx 3.02

Here’s what TPG (on Cooker ML) says:

Next stable release will be 3.02
Next unstable release will be 3.1

With all due and well deserved respect for Colin my observation was that he wasn’t making a mistake as he repeatedly uses 3.1 and 3.2 only in spite of what our release notice and our wiki say. Therefore I was requesting to have the topic discussed at the next TC meeting.

Or am I being to picky or to pedantic? Is it OK to call our releases whatever?

Well I am confused as you are; devs have referred to on some occasions as 3.1
and 3.2 and this would be much more consistent with our previous secondary
releases of 2014 i.e. 2014.1…2014.2 and the unreleased 2014.3. To me the 0 is
superfluous and I really don’t know how it crept in.
Anyway to clarify it did mean 3.20----------- ha only joking 3.02:0
Best,
Colin

Please ask TPG. I think he’s the one who did this and is still Release Manager. Again his most recent word this past week on Cooker ML:

Next stable release will be 3.02
Next unstable release will be 3.1

And the Christmas release is clearly called 3.01 in the release announcement and in our wiki.

Full disclosure. I don’t even like this damn discussion :confounded: as I thought then and still do that naming it 3.0x was an invitation to naming confusion. But on the other hand I feel I’d be remiss in not bringing it up as you can see from what TPG our Release Manager says we will have things called both 3.01-3.02 and 3.1… Arggghhh… :persevere:

All of which adds up to something to either discuss in TC-meeting or let TPG tell us how it is and follow that. At at this point in time I think the later is maybe the better course. The opportunity to avoid confusion has unfortunately passed.

There is nothing to be confused.

3.* is the series.
3.xx are the “respins” (or call it what you like best).
The pattern X.0x > X.1x > X.2x > until X.99 is to be free to exceed the 9th release - if ever one needs to.

Of course we may be superficial and just look at the next 10 cm from our nose, why bother to think in perspective? Who cares?

Well it seems to me then that 3.01 ands 3.02 should not be called releases but
updates but hell what do I know!! :slight_smile: The notion that 3.01 or indeed 3.02 are
“stable”, well, all I can say that they certainly aren’t here. Yesterdays
update broke my system and I will have to reinstall because the lockup that
occurred during update completely broke the rpm database so I will have to
re-install. As far as I can see this rolling release system is just resulting
in continuous breakage of what is supposed to be a stable system.
