[Qgis-user] QGIS releases announced too early IMHO

[Nathan Woodrow]

Hi,

It would be ideal however packages are maintained by different people due
to the complexity of said task.  Windows and major linux distros are done
by Jurgen our release manager, hence why they come out right on time.  I
suspect in the future we will have build bots for each platform but at this
point OS X is still the outliner and requires some domain knowledge for
packaging only a few have.

They normally don't take long to be made so just hold tight.

Regards,
