My wife has been in and out of the hospital a lot recently. There is a lot on my plate taking care of her and dealing with health care providers.
That being said, I am forced to make some changes to the project. From the beginning I have created Manjaro spins after the release of a stable update. Unfortunately they do not come out on a regular schedule, and thats ok, but its leading to some issues for me.
Debian spins are less of a problem. Updates happen all the time in small batches. So I picked a date, around the first of the month for releases. I can schedule aground other things and slowly have it ready on the first usually.
I am making the changes because no matter how I try to change the release date for Manjaro, the unpredictability of stable updates end up falling near the first of the month. I have tried to skip an update and do it on one in the middle of the month, but within a month or two its right back to near the first of the month.
So I am going to set a release date of the 15th of the month for Manjaro, and not tie it to stable updates. This will spread out the work needed to create the spins. The only thing is that a new install may get an update soon after install, but updates are not really an issue, they are maintenance tasks when you are running a rolling release distro.
