If you read it again, my question is far from impossible to answer.
Someone who has seen the transition from .17 to .18, .18 to .19, .19 to
.20...could conceivably have a better idea of when they started hearing
"it's close" on the discussion group to "it's here" based on how the
transitions from the last major versions to the next went.
I'm certainly not looking for someone to base their careers or lives on how
accurate their guess is, but the general order of magnitude of the time till
release shouldn't be out of the question for someone with more historical
knowledge. I'm a bit of a Linux noob and I can't code to save my life
(compiling anything from source is still a challenge for me).
I've been involved with Myth for about 4 months now. Someone more
knowledgeable would have stronger historical basis, and that's probably
someone who's been involved with this discussion group longer than I, and
from all that they'd be able to generate a better guess than I would. It's
someone like that who I'm asking. If you know nothing more than that,
please simply ignore the post and wait for someone qualified to answer,
rather than telling me its impossible.
I didn't ask for lottery numbers.
From my background, I feel confident in saying will be out somewhere between
1 day to 1 year from now. I expect someone more knowledgeable can do
better. If you ask a stock broker whether a stock is at its peak, they can
say "I don't think so" or "I think it will be in the next few weeks" or "I
think it peaked last month." Of course, it's impossible to say with 100%
certainty, but I thinks it's a decent analogy. Sure, the broker could tell
someone to "download the historical data and make your own guess," but that
would be a waste of the work the stock broker already did. As you said,
this is an OSS project. The idea is to share knowledge and not to reinvent
the wheel. I could start learning how to program and come out with my on
PVR software package, but that would be silly.
The reason I ask is I plan to do some setup changes and I'd rather wait till
the next release to do that. If it's a matter of days or weeks, I'll hold
off. If it's a matter of months, I'll go ahead and make my changes now.
I'm not trying to be impatient, and I'm not suggesting it's taking too
long. I'm simply asking for some guidance from the more experienced people
in the community.
So does anyone feel confident enough to venture a guess?
