[ros-dev] Releasing

[Timo Kreuzer]

I'd like to come back to this and suggest a procedure:

1. Officially announce feature freeze.
2. Address patches in bugzilla. we have 31 patches in bugzilla and we 
should have each of them reviewed and hopefully a lot comitted.
3. Address regressions. We have 47 (!!!) bugs marked as regressions in 
bugzilla. We should go through each of them and check if its any 
reasonable to fix them.
4. Address bugs with high severity / high priority. (5 blockers, 9 
critical, 50 major... doh!)
5. Do a "usability test". This means installing and doing the usual 
stuff, a user would do and note all problems, annoyances. Currently ros 
crashes very often with failed assertions and other stuff. If we ship 
this in a release, people will be very disappointed. so we seriously 
need to improve the situation.
6. ???
7. profit
