I agree, it would make more sense to have the votings over before doing the next Alpha, so theres time to cook up relevant patches and commit them. -- regards, Kalle Sommer Nielsen kalle@php.net --- ## #53902 — Stas Malyshev — 2011-07-11T23:23:04+00:00 URL: https://externals.io/message/53898#53902 · In reply to: #53899 Hi! > I would rather wait the 2nd wave of RFCs to be adopted/rejected before > doing a2, if some has no patch (or far to be ready) or too risky (the > int/string/float looks like one to me) should be dropped and delayed > to the next release. Why delay? RFCs are a separate things, and they should be ready for the beta. We have a number of features that need testing - webserver, Zend Signals, XSLT fixes... We'll have another alpha in early August most probably anyway. -- Stanislav Malyshev, Software Architect SugarCRM: http://www.sugarcrm.com/ (408)454-6900 ext. 227 --- ## #53904 — Pierre Joye — 2011-07-11T23:27:05+00:00 URL: https://externals.io/message/53898#53904 · In reply to: #53902 > Hi! > > > > […] > > Why delay?

But if not, we'd to freeze the chosen additions and now rather than later (as per the release RFC).

Well, OK, let's say we delay a week. Vote closes on 16th, and I'd have to pack on 20th, so we get 4 days for people to dust off patches, apply them, check that everything works, etc. I'm not sure it's worth it - I'd rather have another alpha - but let's hear what other RFC authors think. -- Stanislav Malyshev, Software Architect SugarCRM: http://www.sugarcrm.com/ (408)454-6900 ext. 227 --- ## #53909 — Hannes Magnusson — 2011-07-12T08:16:28+00:00 URL: https://externals.io/message/53898#53909 · In reply to: #53905 > Hi! > > > > […] > > Well, OK, let's say we delay a week.

I'd say leave the RFC things out for this alpha. Committing to many things in the last days before alpha just increases the risk of it being b0rked. Plus, I'm in Paris for that week so won't be able to commit my proposed changes anyway ;) -Hannes
