[ckan-dev] Delaying 1.7 release

Fri May 4 16:42:22 UTC 2012

Hi all,

I'm sorry to say that I decided to push back the release of 1.7.

The reason is that I found that the package install is not stable
enough. Installing it on a new Ubuntu 10.04 instance it gives errors
related with importlib not being present (not surprisingly, as it was
added on 2.6). It looks like a dependencies issue caused by celery
(full trace at the end), but in any case, the point is that package
install has not been tested well enough, which is a thing that must be
improved on next releases (Another thing to avoid, which has been my
fault, is starting the release process on a Friday without all the
devs around to help).

I think that it will be easy enough to fix with all of you around next
Tuesday, but in the meantime, we'll defer the 1.7 release.

Sorry about this and have a great weekend!
