New Release?
Heya folks,
Do you want a formal release soon, with all the improvements?
Tell me.
That would be nice. I mean, I still won't use it for now, but it would be one more proof for my CTO that the project is alive and of interest to migrate out of Mirrorbrain ^^
Hello and thanks for the ping @jbkempf !
I'd be happy to see a release at some point, first quarter of 2025 at the latest, so that I can package it for Debian trixie that will be released during summer 2025.
I'd like to say "wait for me to fix https://github.com/etix/mirrorbits/issues/157 and https://github.com/etix/mirrorbits/issues/152" but I'm not certain I'll find the time to work on those two tickets... So don't wait for me :)
We (the Jenkins project) would really be interested in a formal release yes!
Our biggest interest on short term is arm64 support but all the fixes and improvements brought since the v0.5.1 would really be cool
Heya folks,

Tell me.
Personally regular automated release would be ideal, get feedback quicker soon after the change is merged rather than years later.
We do a release this Month, in November '24.
OK.

Please do so, I couldn't find time to work on https://github.com/etix/mirrorbits/issues/157 and https://github.com/etix/mirrorbits/issues/152, I still have hope that I'll get to it before end of year, who knows
FWIW I'm back working on mirrorbits and I expect to open some PRs in the coming days
Hello folks, do you have some news on a new release?

I've been merging a lot of PR lately. There is just #186 left that I care about. (I don't think #148 and #171 are ready)
I'm in the process of reworking https://github.com/etix/mirrorbits/pull/147, hoping to get it done before end of week. it applies after #186 though. It will be simple to review, it's a small change.
Also I'd like to check changes since last release and update the CHANGELOG.md before the release.

OK.
Finished my work with https://github.com/etix/mirrorbits/pull/147, which is now superseded by https://github.com/etix/mirrorbits/pull/188
@jbkempf How is it going with the reviews?
Just to mention that timeline for the next Debian stable was announced, soft freeze will be on 2025-04-15. With my Debian hat on, it would be great if the mirrorbits release could happen before that, so that I can package it for Debian.

ReLeasE time, it is, then.
Rebase the #188, merge it, update changelogs and all, and we release a new major :D
Hold on a bit, just yesterday I spotted a regression introduced by https://github.com/etix/mirrorbits/pull/128, I'll open a PR with a fix soonish.
EDIT: It's here: https://github.com/etix/mirrorbits/pull/190
Done, done and done.
So changelog is now the big step.
Will do my best to open a PR before Monday.
Also, what's your view on moving the wiki under a doc/ directory or something like that?

Why not, but this is not urgent.
Here you go.
@elboulangero you are a hero.
Ahahaah! Thanks for the kind words :) And thanks for taking the time for all the reviews.
Also big thanks to all the fine folks who have been active on this bug tracker, either via discussions or commits. I hope everyone will stick around so we can keep mirrorbits in great shape.
Oh, and I almost forgot: sorry in advance for the bugs I introduced in this release :D

Reviewing is 10x more difficult than writing :)

You cannot make omelets without breaking eggs.
We'll do another one minor to fix things.
