Re: [Lubuntu-admins] Preparation of a Lubuntu Statement

[Walter Lapchynski <wxl@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Well here's the problem I face: I cannot know any sooner than Tuesday
before release (Thursday) what the state of the images are. In fact,
sometimes (14.04.2) I don't even know until day of release!!!!

I could try to make sure testing is done on dailies a week before, but
I still won't be able to say anything definite because there's lots of
opportunity for changes while we wait. The images are frozen come
Tuesday.

At least for non-release milestones, that's the case. Beyond that, it
shouldn't be too difficult.

I hope you can understand.
