= KDE SC Release Packaging Thoughts =
top-level layout


1. the Continuous Integration (CI) System
project ->
  - all the KDE SC modules are built continuously
   autotests
   - no packaging unless all modules build ok
   docs
    (even better would be to force all make tests too)
   src
   - the packaging tools run on the CI system generating "test" tarballs
   tests
   - the "test" tarballs could be downloaded from the CI system
   CMakeLists.txt
   -
   COPYING, COPYING.LIB,... [all files dealing with the project license]
 
  metainfo.yaml
2. the KDE Sysadmin Team
  README.md
  - provides and manages the CI system
  .reviewboardrc
  - will transfer "test" tarballs to the public ftp site
  ProjectConfig.cmake.in
  - prepares the public ftp site for bandwidth requirements at release announce time
  ProjectMacros.cmake
  -
 
3. the KDE Promo Team
   - writes and distributes release announcements through normal channels
  - deals with the media
  - manages public expectations
  -
 
4. the KDE i18n Team
  - maintains the languages list
  -
 
5. the KDE Release Team
   - coordinates the entire release effort
  - sets release milestones and dates
  - communicates important dates to the community and to distros
  - communicates important news to the community and to distros
  - creates "test" tarballs using the CI system and handles distro feedback
  - adds hot and security patches to the tarballs before the final release
  - creates "final" tarballs using the CI system
  - pushes tags to the module repositories in a timely manner
  - writes and maintains the necessary tools
  - writes and maintains the release process documentation
