Yeah, I can definitely see your point with that.
I think the "missing piece" here is some way of letting people know that "ok, now you need to start testing the XYZ tarball, as we're preparing for a release."
yes, that's a messaging problem, not a technical problem. I need to be more vocal about entering the freeze (a single mail won't make it) and should probably point to the snapshots.
On a related note, we should probably set up a libvirt-announce@redhat.com mailing list, used for release/important announcements and similar. Not everyone that wants to know of the releases wants to receive user and/or developer mailing list traffic.
We had that debate a couple of years ago, at the time the size of the followers were small enough it wasn't considered useful (-users too) but at this point, yes, that's something to do, Daniel -- Daniel Veillard | libxml Gnome XML XSLT toolkit http://xmlsoft.org/ daniel@veillard.com | Rpmfind RPM search engine http://rpmfind.net/ http://veillard.com/ | virtualization library http://libvirt.org/
