New MAAS PPA's

 

Dear All,

In order to better improve the publication of new MAAS releases, we are in
the process of re-organizing the MAAS maintained PPA's. The changes include:

*New Launchpad Team*
>From now on, all MAAS Stable and Development releases will no longer be
released under the 'maas-maintainers' Launchpad Team. We have created a new
''maas' Launchpad Team that will host the new PPA's.

*New Set of PPA's*
The PPA's have now being re-organized into two categories:

   - *Latest Stable Release PPA's (e.g 1.8 series)*

Stable PPA's will host the latest MAAS Stable Release (currently, 1.8).
This includes 2 PPA's:


   - *ppa:maas/stable*

The 'maas/stable' PPA will host the latest stable verified release (or
point release). Currently this PPA holds MAAS 1.8.0.


   - *ppa:maas/proposed*

This PPA will host the proposed point release to superseed the latest
verified release in 'stable'. Currently, this PPA holds MAAS 1.8.1, as a
candidate to replace MAAS 1.8.0 in ppa:maas/stable. Once the verification
time is completed, the point release in this PPA will be moved to the
'stable' PPA.


   - *Current Development Release PPA's (e.g 1.9 series)*

The Development PPA's will host the latest MAAS Development Releases
(currently, 1.9).


   - *ppa:maas/next*

This PPA will (soon) contain the latest release (i.e. 1.9.0~alpha1) of the
current development tree. Currently, MAAS 1.9.0~alpha1 is in the process of
being QA'd for release. Once QA is completed, it will be made available in
this PPA.

NOTE: The goal of this PPA is to allow user testing of the current
development tree. Regressions / bugs are expected in this PPA.


   - *ppa:maas/experimental*

This PPA will (soon) contain newer snapshots (or releases) of the
development release in the 'next' PPA (i.e. 1.9.0~alpha2). The goal of this
PPA is to provide newer proposed releases (or snapshots) of the development
tree for user testing.

NOTE: The goal of this PPA is to allow user testing of later snapshots /
proposed releases of the development tree, and some breakage is expected.
It is meant to be used at your own risk.


*Transitioning*
During the transition period, we will continue to support the following
PPA's:

ppa:maas-maintainers/stable
ppa:maas-maintainers/testing

We will no longer support:

ppa:maas-maintainers/experimental

Nor any other PPA under ppa:maas-maintainers/*. All of the PPA's under
(maas-maintainers) team will now be used for *development* purposes *only*
and should be used at your own risk.

Any comments or feedback is highly appreciated.
