Title: Devel or new dist? Post by: bvdp on July 31, 2019, 10:36:34 PM I think I've decided that next release will be 19.08, not a developer test run. Several reasons:
- the debug bug which makes 19.07 crash when using -d - the fact that missed posted the release to a number of sites - 'case it looks neat to release often :) And reasons for sticking with a devel? If not, I'll get this up later this week. Title: Re: Devel or new dist? Post by: sciurius on August 01, 2019, 08:27:11 AM This depends on what you call "release" and what you call "devel".
I would say that "devel" implies new features, fixed bugs, but still some rough ends (e.g. docs not up to date yet). So it is a functional snapshot, announced only on the Kara-Moon forum. OTOH, "release" implies everything is tested and integrated. Docs up-to-date. No known bugs. Announcements to all major sites and lists. Alternatively, a bugfix-release is identical to the previous release with just one or more nasty bugs fixed. I'm in favour of the "release early, release often" workflow. Looking forward to 19.08 :). Title: Re: Devel or new dist? Post by: sciurius on August 02, 2019, 07:44:17 AM Before releasing, please remove the following left-overs:
egs/misc/#truncate.mma# lib/stdlib/#68swing.mma# includes/#casio-wk3000.mma# lib/pflib/.mmaDB lib/alexis/.mmaDB lib/yamaha/.mmaDB lib/casio/.mmaDB lib/.mmaDB2 lib/.mmaDB lib/stdlib/.mmaDB lib/kara/.mmaDB Thanks! Title: Re: Devel or new dist? Post by: bvdp on August 02, 2019, 04:03:22 PM The .mmaDB files are okay aren't they. I know that if you install via deb they get recreated, but from bin blob they are just overwritten ... hmmm, is that the problem? Certainly, the #*# files are going to get deleted right now :)

... now if only this could spread :P Title: Re: Devel or new dist? Post by: bvdp on August 03, 2019, 06:50:23 PM We seem to have a positive explosion of activity on this topic ;D ... now if only this could spread :P Yeah ... nothing like some new features and old bugs to get the comments working. But, if you look at past activity on this forum you'll see lots of readers and few comments. Would like to get the comments up from different users ... more users equates to more ideas! Title: Re: Devel or new dist? Post by: sciurius on August 04, 2019, 07:34:18 PM The .mmaDB files are okay aren't they. I wouldn't say so. They refer to absolute filenames that not need to match the users file system. So they are of no use. And they are generated anyway. Title: Re: Devel or new dist? Post by: bvdp on August 04, 2019, 09:46:20 PM Ahh, those nasty filename things again :) Yes, good point. I will see about deleting in the next release.
