Hi, 

I've just finished creating RC4. you can check it out from CVS by updating 
with this command: 

cvs up -rKDE_3_0_RELEASE

I suggest the following schedule: 

- Testing it till sunday evening. I will then regenerate the tarballs 
  labeled as KDE 3.0 final and pass them to the packagers on monday
  morning. 

- There will be no automatic "sync tag with HEAD" any more. Any change
  in any released module != kde-i18n will not be included in KDE 3.0 by
  default. The tag will only be moved by _me_ when there is a critical
  and tested showstopper fix. 
  
  Currently the only showstoppers I know about is the missing locolor
  version of the splash screen and the Java applet problems. 

- kde-i18n will be synced with HEAD for generating the final tarballs, so
  that translators have time to finish their translations. 

- After the final packages have been generated, I will branch CVS in
  KDE_3_0_BRANCH and HEAD. KDE_3_0_BRANCH will be closed for bigger
  feature commits, it is intended as stable-bugfix branch only. The HEAD
  branch will become KDE 3.1. 

  I do hope that KDE_3_0_BRANCH is the main development branch after 
  3.0 release. It is supposed to be released as 3.0.1 approximately
  a month after 3.0 release with assorted bugfixes. 

- If anybody wants to step up as Release coordinator for HEAD or 
  KDE_3_0_BRANCH, please mail me privately. 


Suggestions, comments, opinions welcome,


Dirk
