From nile.geisinger at openlina.com Mon Oct 8 15:07:24 2007 From: nile.geisinger at openlina.com (Nile Geisinger) Date: Mon, 08 Oct 2007 13:07:24 -0700 Subject: [Lina-dev] Lina Site Resources Message-ID: <470A8DFC.4050602@openlina.com> Hi everyone, This list has been a bit quiet lately. We've been handling traffic on the forum and working on bugs discovered from the Open Source release of LINA. When we released LINA's source code, we also put up several resources for the community. There is now: * a GIT repository * a RoadMap * User and developer forums * Bug Database * Wikis * Technoloy Overview * Howtos The Roadmap enables members of the community to track releases and participate in the direction of LINA. Each release is on a short two to three week development schedule. The next three releases are: * Release 0.71 - fixing build bugs on different platforms, adding checkpoints during the build, and fixing a few remaining bugs from our transition to native Windows binaries * Release 0.72 - improving the tools used by developers to create LINA packages (we can make them radically simpler - essentially automatic - if we make them a smarter in analyzing installs). * Release 0.73 - a subset of the LINA APIs and developer binaries for easy installs on Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux 0.71 is important because it means that we've nailed all of the bugs remaining from our re-org and LINA is guaranteed to compile on every platform. 0.72 is the point at which it should become very easy to make LINA binaries. Of all three releases, 0.73 is the most critical - it?s the point at which we will have LINA to a state that the larger Open Source community can easily use LINA and universal LINA binaries. The development team is going to start communicating more through this list, so traffic should start to pick up. Thanks to everyone who is participating so far - we're working hard to get 0.71 out in the next two weeks. warm regards, Nile From nile.geisinger at openlina.com Mon Oct 8 16:08:14 2007 From: nile.geisinger at openlina.com (Nile Geisinger) Date: Mon, 08 Oct 2007 14:08:14 -0700 Subject: [Lina-dev] Switch to Debian now Message-ID: <470A9C3E.4070202@openlina.com> Hi Saill, How would you feel if I made the transition to Debian now?

Saill From nile.geisinger at openlina.com Sun Oct 21 18:34:37 2007 From: nile.geisinger at openlina.com (Nile Geisinger) Date: Sun, 21 Oct 2007 16:34:37 -0700 Subject: [Lina-dev] Debian transition complete (will release for 0.71) Message-ID: <471BE20D.7020300@openlina.com> It's been a little quiet here while we worked hard on the 0.71 release. Here's a quick update. We just finished the transition from our custom OS to a Debian OS with our tools and libraries on it. This transition had been planned for release 0.73, but because of bug 12 had been moved up to the 0.71 release. Bug 12 has disappeared with the transition on all three major operating systems (Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux). We have a few more bugs to fix for 0.71 and then we are going to test and retest on all of our major platforms to make sure we have not missed anything. We have 0.71 release scheduled for this Friday, but we will extend it if necessary to make sure it's a solid release. We are targeting 0.73 for the release of LINA binaries and several demos. 0.72, the next release, is going to focus on improving the experience of using our tools and making the conversion from a Debian dpkg to a .lina binary automatic.
