Re: [tauruslib-devel] preparing Taurus Jul20 release (and cancelling Jan20)

[Carlos Pascual-I. <cpa...@ce...>]

Hi,

July is "tomorrow"

... meaning that we should hurry to get the release in time.

I've concentrated efforts lately in removing what I considered the main 
blockers for the new release: the unreliability of the test suite and 
the basic entry-point based plugins. With these two things cleared, I 
think that it is now easier to work on the remaining issues planned for 
the July20 milestone [1].

Still, unfortunately, it seems clear that we at ALBA won't have enough 
time to solve all the issues currently listed in [1]. Therefore I am 
making a call for help to the rest of the taurus community to try to fix 
as much of those issues as possible until the 14th of July (after that 
we should do the release tests and the release itself).

Please don't be shy!  ;)

Carlos
