Well, again we'd need some sort of project / process to approve the layout. For that we'd need a concrete proposal, for which someone would need to do the work.
Sorry to be a bit skeptical here, but given that we can't even get 1.34 done it seems hard to imagine we have time to worry about packaging.
Actually I think the timing couldn't be any better ! I'm certainly not proposing to change any code / infrastructure right now. But as everybody right now is painfully aware of the limitations of the current release process, I'd hope that it may be possible to find some motivation / momentum to start thinking about enhancements for the post 1.34 work. FWIW, I believe that the required infrastructure for the use cases I suggested earlier may be straight forward to add, and doesn't require any formal process. However, all this certainly also fits into a wider discussion about build / test / release infrastructure and process, which, then, needs a broader discussion. There ought to be a way out of this deadlock... Regards, Stefan -- ...ich hab' noch einen Koffer in Berlin...
