I'm not blaming anyone like I said, just that it happened, that's all. Next time I'll look back into releng (which is apart from release time usually meaningless). But I hope you can understand that once you've seen such a date it might easily be a week or so before you'll find it's been changed through email. How about when we get towards release we send info/updates notices daily or even more if needed to all port maintainers or even all subscribers of the relevant mailinglists? A lot more than normally. The more the merrier. After all, it's release time. I'm sure between all the spam we get we won't mind an extra reminder. I mean if it failed between KDE <--> Gnome we need a better "alarm" system, no? Would that perhaps be a practical solution to not get into missed-freeze-date things. I mean I was absent about, well, a week, from the lists alone. Many committers/maintainers have that occasionally. It's very easy to be absent for one or two weeks. You're busy a few days and sick a few others and well... there you are. ** Digging up lots of sand to make room for the peace pipe already a very big one of course argh deep digging deep digging ** Hope I've cleaned the air now, just trying to make things better.
