Thread: Release timeline for 8.3
All, Per request, I've drafted a "release timeline" which shows the timings and order in which everything needs to be done. It obviously doesn't have quite enough detail on the stuff which needs to be done over the last 4 days before the release. Help me fill it in? http://developer.postgresql.org/index.php/MajorReleaseTimeline -- Josh Berkus PostgreSQL @ Sun San Francisco

But I'm unsure what you mean with "news page" vs "rest of website update". Are you talking about just the news item? Because we'll have to update the actual frontpage and the listing that shows latest versions and such at -2, so we might as well post the news at that time no? And just hold back on the email ones? //Magnus

And just hold back on the email ones? The front end of the list seems a bit bizarre too. You won't know nine weeks out just when the release is going to happen. regards, tom lane
Tom, > The front end of the list seems a bit bizarre too. You won't know nine > weeks out just when the release is going to happen. Nope. You have to start that far out from the earliest release date, and be ready ahead of time. For 8.2 that meant that the press release was ready a month before PostgreSQL was, but for 8.1 we were barely in time because of the short beta. --Josh
