[linux-lvm] LVM 1.0 release status

[Heinz J. Mauelshagen]

We have found the bug which caused the 1.0 release delay this afternoon
and need to run piles of QA tests tomorrow.

Plan is to release 1.0 tomorrow afternoon CST.

We appreciate your patience.

Regards,
Heinz    -- The LVM Guy --

I've a problem with the development of LVM.
It seems that you (Sistina guys) are sorry that LVM 1.0 is delayed. You
SHOULD'NT!
By definition Open-Source/free software don't have deadlines! They are
released when they are GOOD, not when marketing wants to! That's why it's
better than M$ software.
See Linux 2.4, delayed ten of times. No problem Linus, make Linux good and
it's enough for me!

So, continue your good work until LVM 1.0 is READY, not until people are
happy that you release it.

Thanks a lot for your work on LVM and bye

Jean-Eric,

thanks a lot for your feedback :-)

Point is that I informed the LVM community about our plans to release 1.0 on
June, 20th a while ago.
My "release status" e-mails are just aiming to keep everybody up to date
in regard to necessary changes.

You are right.
That's what it aims to achive and it is good from that viewpoint.

I'm not worried about minor delays like a couple of weeks.
But with the really long delays in regard to Linux releases, there's other
opinions about this too.  For eg. commercial firms which need to get
products for Linux out of the door to ensure revenue can't probably share yours
because they can't afford to wait very long :-(

All right.
We'll do our best :-)

May be it's a trivial question but I would like to understand:

Is LVM 1.0 version the first stable version after any 0.9 beta versions
or is it a new branch within the development curse ??

Thanks for your reply and your very nice job on LVM.

The former.
