Обсуждение: Updating Freshmeat & Sourceforge?
All, Johnathan Fuerth used to update our Freshmeat & SF.net profiles every time our project did a release. However, I haven't heard from him in a year, and I don't think he's involved with PostgreSQL anymore. Can someone else take over this duty? -- Josh Berkus PostgreSQL Experts Inc. http://pgexperts.com

Also, they've been maintained until whenever Jonathan got bored, sometime this year. -- Josh Berkus PostgreSQL Experts Inc. http://pgexperts.com

That doesn't match my memory, but I won't destroy your fantasy. -- Bruce Momjian <bruce@momjian.us> http://momjian.us EnterpriseDB http://enterprisedb.com + It's impossible for everything to be true. +

I won't say on the spot but better than it was previous to that. It seems to me that the solution is to make updating Freecode (freshmeat doesn't exist anymore) and sourceforge should be part of the committers job as part of the release process. I mean, someone has to update the front page of the website, they should also update those two sites as well or at least have someone step up during packaging to do so. Sincerely, Joshua D.

That seems unreasonable. The release team has enough to do, and if Freecode gets updated a couple of days later, it's not really a problem. I think continuing to do it through separate advocacy volunteers makes sense. -- Josh Berkus PostgreSQL Experts Inc. http://pgexperts.com
