Hi Markus, since LCG-2_5_0 was for sites participating to SC3 I didn't read the release note in detail. As a general comment, although I perfectly understand the pressure you are under, I think that vagueness and mixed information about releases doesn't help. I'd rather have clear statements for each release even if they say that the release is late and the reason why it is late. I think that clear communication is important to maintain my end of the bargain updating sites within 3 weeks from LCG release. In about 2 months I'll have to deal with 1000 nodes (not ~80) which clearly need planning for the upgrades. I hope you understand my position. cheers alessandra On Fri, 8 Jul 2005, Markus Schulz wrote: > Hi, > in the release note of LCG-2_5_0 I have stated that 2_6 will come early July. > > This statement was deliberately vague because at that time the state of the > some of the components meant to go into the release was less than clear. > > Our aim is to release at the 15th to the 3 ROCs that volunteered for > deployment testing and then with their feedback release at the > 20th.
