1.6.0 release planning #354
Comments
Thank you for your trust! I would like to finish the following PR:

fwiw, realistically this means unless you add it to xkbcomp, it'll never happen. xkbcomp has been effectively unmaintained (functionality-wise) for decades now. And then there's the whole happy inertia game of xkeyboard-config not being able to ship rules with new features until they're wildly enough supported, which will take imperial yonks or metric ages. I'll be trying to work my way through the others as I find time this week. |
I am aware of this. It may happen if:
Backward compatibility is mandatory and motivates changes to xkbcomp. I would wait a few xkeyboard-config releases after the xkbcomp one before proposing making use of the new feature, with a big warning in the release notes. I believe that communication to the main distros and the excellent QA of some of them (see e.g. openSUSE) should make the transition possible. The feature is worth the effort. |
be careful what you wish for, you may just become the maintainer of xkbcomp if you do that :) |
@bluetech @whot currently almost all the items in the 1.6.0 milestone have been processed. We are close to a release. As you can see there are still a few PR pending. I wish #356 could make it for this release, but I think further delaying the release is maybe not a good idea. So I already planned some PR for the future 1.7.0 release. Now, I would like to know how do you proceed with release:
I would like to help to make the release. |
I don't use a tool, I just go over the commits.
Here's how I do it, it's somewhat laborious.

Thanks for clarifying the steps. The Github pages job is working quite nice. I wonder when could we switch the entire website (see #326). Once we have switched to Github page-base website, we could write a manual job that deploy the release. Then the workflow would be:
I changed a bit the order, that seems more practical to me. |
The two tasks here are:
After that it's just a matter of changing the DNS I think.
This sounds good to me. In the meantime, I can handle the 1.6.0, it's not a problem. I see you've added a couple more PRs to the 1.6.0 milestone so I'll wait for them. Let me know if you want to write the NEWS for this release, otherwise I'll write it and send a PR. |
1.6.0 is released! |
The plan is basically: once @wismill says we should :) Let me know you think we're in a good state in regards to your PRs (note: I do intent to go over all of them soon), then I'll do the release.
