Good afternoon from Singapore,
According to the CentOS 8 build timeline, everything has been completed except release work. Does this mean CentOS 8 will be released soon?
https://wiki.centos.org/About/Building_8
It means dealing with a ton of little IRQ's that built up over the builds. There are all the updates which have gone out from Red Hat since their .0. There are trying to find all the little nagging things people find which someone will say 'Why didn't CentOS people actually find this blaringly obvious problem I found in 30 seconds.. are they all idiots?' which happens right after every release. And there are the 'ok could we get this one more thing?' stuff which pile up also. This happens in some every .0 release from 4 onward.. 2-3 weeks where people wonder why stuff is being held from them...
No one called anyone an 'idiot.'
Actually, I think several people (including myself) just don't know what "Release work" means or what it means that the wiki says that the release work is "Not started"
So thanks for your unfriendly answer. It sounds like your speculation is that there might be a release in 2-3 weeks.
I have had several people explain to me that my comments were out-of-place and out-of-turn. When I wrote them originally I thought I was going from experience of previous releases and thought I was being matter of fact. In rereading I realized I was crass and grumpy. My un-reserved apologies for that. I should have either not posted or waited, reread and rewritten.
