RE: [PHP-QA] PHP 4.2.3RC1 ?

Another option would be to get people to split into 2 teams, and have bug fix team and new feature team, where people specifically look at those features. Make a slightly bigger divide between the two projects.

Yes - for QA this is a good idea. Could we get a headcount? But there's still the issue of a person needed to make sure all fixes get merged, create a snapshot and adjust QA-web to match the release version, pack the release and win32 binaries and announce on the websites and mailing lists. Also - since QA Web currently isn't very release-master friendly, as it's hard to keep track of who posted a problem, this isn't as trivial as it sounds. For the bug part - I personally feel Jani would be the ideal candidate, but judging from this message http://news.php.net/article.php?group=php.dev&article=86264 on the php-dev list, he's being (de-) bugged by Derick :-)

Yes, there are others who feel this way - but basically it boils down to who is qualified AND has the time to take this task upon him/her. I for one am not qualified as I don't have a solid understanding of C nor the build system. Further more - QA of two releases is not a good idea, so the whole thing should be done in an acceptable timeframe, so that it doesn't delay 4.3 release too much. Maybe we could sweet-talk Stig into it ? :-) Or Zeev as he's on the same bandwagon. -- PHP Quality Assurance Mailing List <http://www.php.net/> To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
