Folks,
Just want to double-check that the 4.73 release will, as agreed, act as
the testing/proving for having multiple maintainers able to issue
releases so that no one person is burdened with having to be _the_
release person.
Relevant items from the minutes:
* PGP signatures on releases by people, not by role account
* keys to have @exim.org UIDs
* FTP mirrors conversion to tahini / ftp.exim.org ?
* Nigel to chase
* Nigel to note to mirror maintainers that future requests may come from others,
check for @exim.org PGP sig if unknown (we *will* use that, they *may* check that)
* Tahini permissions:
* Nigel to put people in a relevant group
* Nigel to audit/fix permissions so that others can do a release
* Target is for dwmw2 to release 4.73 (git), doing all steps, with Nigel just fixing permissions to make this possible
* http://wiki.exim.org/EximRelease to kept updated
* new scripts may be written to ease the process
* People who want to be able to do releases: DW PP GF (NM)
FWIW, I'm now on vacation for all but about two days of the rest of this
year, so have some more time available. My wife has expectations of me
:) but Exim probably has second place demand. The JID I have for XMPP
(per the minutes) is also an email address and new mails to that address
generate a ding on my mobile phone which I, erm, "often" notice. So if
you have something urgent, consider that.
