[Foresight-devel] Re: FL2 stable possible deadline

[Chris Giroir]

I'm getting very confused with these discussions. I may be way off
base and not in tune with what's going on currently, but I thought
Foresight was a rolling release distro. 2 Is going to be very
important milestone due to many new features, but talking about
"release cycles" being short or long seems very off base. Am I wrong
about this?

The reason that brought me to Foresight in the first place was that
it's a rolling release binary system that seems to work much better
than Arch did (my personal opinion of course, Arch is a fantasic
distro!). If you want to use Foresight, I felt that included the
desire to have all packages upgraded soon after they are released,
hence blowing anything about a release cycle out of the window. Are we
planning to have a 2,3,4 etc releases on a schedule?

Bringing in a couple new distro features with the release of 2 is
awesome of course. I for one can't wait for many of the new features,
but I know that even on Foresight 1 I'm still getting very up-to-date
packages. Foresight 1 will have the new Gnome when it's released
regardless of the release of version 2 or not right?
