| IrcsomeBot | <RikMills> Cannot say I am 100% convinced of the effort/benefit equation in making a new CI. I have developed some quite effective strategies for packaging things in advance of actual releases. Hence we have not usually had to wait to get new things out | 18:46 |
|---|---|---|
| IrcsomeBot | <RikMills> The downside it that they require a packager to be able to spare significant time for short periods, rather than spreading out the packaging changes in small bites over longer periods | 18:48 |
| IrcsomeBot | <RikMills> For example, using upstream release scripts, I can quite easily make a fake set of tarball for an upcoming release that I can throw at a PPA. Then sort the packing out so when the real release happens, there is a minimal amount of extra work to do. THis is how I have been able to get new plasma beta and .0 releases out very close to or even on the release day | 18:51 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Rick_Timmis> That sounds like a good strategy, but your the only one doing the work 😞 | 19:10 |
| IrcsomeBot | <RikMills> That is a different class of problem (re @Rick_Timmis: That sounds like a good strategy, but your the only one doing the work 😞) | 19:23 |
