Maybe I'm just missing the whole point but I wonder if we could define a series of 'test' a version should pass before being marked as -rc ir final. Now that we have the automated BK snapshots the "public" release seems to be a minor milestone in the process. I would like to see ltp test suite, OSDL's compile stats and OSDL benchmarking as part of the release process. Does it make sense ? Ciao, Paolo -- paoloc.doesntexist.org
