<br>
With the raft of delays we have had with Fedora 18 people have been<br>
looking at options that involve us not releasing on Tuesdays as we<br>
always have. I said that we cant change up how we stage everything and<br>
the windows we give mirrors to stage content before opening up the<br>
flood gates of the release.<br>
<br>
So I'm asking you the mirror admins, what is enough of a lead time to<br>
stage the release? to allow things to go through the levels of tiering<br>
and get on your disks before we make it open.<br>
<br>
to give you the run down of how it currently works<br>
<br>
we have go/nogo meetings on Thursday afternoon US time, i then stage<br>
either after the meeting or first thing on Friday morning. so mirrors<br>
have Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday to pick up the bits. I<br>
usually flip the bits and make the torrents live around midnight US<br>
Eastern time on the Monday night we then release at 10AM US eastern<br>
time.<br>
<br>
We would greatly appreciate your feedback and input on what will work<br>
best for you guys.<br>
<br>
<br>
Thanks all<br>
<br>
Dennis<br>
