Becky, > I got a follow-up question from my boss today about the information I > gave him on UNIDATA's support of netCDF. Actually, two questions. > > One was about how you handle security issues and patches with the software. So far we haven't had any security issues with netCDF libraries or utilities. If a security issue were identified, we would give priority to fixing it and would announce the availability of the fix (in terms of a patch or more likely a new "snapshot" release) on the netcdfgroup mailing list. > The second was for a rough idea of how often you release new versions of > the software. We make snapshot releases available approximately every night. A snapshot release must pass all tests on one platform (Linux) but is not required to pass testing on the many platforms required for a normal release. We aim to make regular releases approximately every six months. --Russ Russ Rew UCAR Unidata Program address@hidden http://www.unidata.ucar.edu Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: CGQ-607993 Department: Support netCDF Priority: Normal Status: Closed
