Ok, according to the last thread about releasing on saturday i summarize: - most agree with releasing a new iso that just works
- New codename? A new iso will be released in november which contains a new major kernel, which we all agreed earlier this year should trigger a new codename and release/filename.
agreed
At the moment it would mean much work to regenerate the ISOs with only to include a new code name. With entering kernel .23 series we should bump initscripts to a new code name, suggestions are welcome :) one mentioned was Hardcore
+1 for Hardcore
- Release/File name of ISOs? ok here started the confusion, these ISOs will still contain the same major kernel series as in 2007.08 ISOs. There was also a thread about name scheme and we wanted to use -0.x as developer ISOs and [1-9] as release/bugfix versions. According to this it would be logical to use here 2007.08-2 as release/filename we could still use the iso/2007.08 directory on ftp and remove the others directories, see section below.
Maybe I missed it, but what's wrong with 2007.08.2 to follow 2007.08.1?
Yeah this was a long thread - it's a minor semantic difference to alleviate confusion YYYY.MM.X makes the X look like a day. The dash is used because everything else in our releases uses the dash to indicate a "release number".
