I've fallen into disarray with your drupal members because i selected 'security update' as one of my projects release attribute options.

I couldnt figure out why the new release was not being created. so i filed this http://drupal.org/node/346477

now i know, that selecting 'security' means a whole lot of things to different people, please work in some suitable text to the project page to help Neanderthals like myself to understand the ramifications and your procedures.

<merlinofchaos> dgtlcomrade: The drupal.org security team takes the 'security update' flag very seriously. It means that everyone ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY must update because there is a security vulnerability, and that there needs to be an SA.
<dgtlcomrade> merlinofchaos, you should probably mention that on the page
<merlinofchaos> dgtlcomrade: I cannot double check that; all I know is that in your infrastructure issue, greggles said that he emailed you.
<merlinofchaos> dgtlcomrade: Please do not tell me what *I* should or should not do. I am taking the time to explain to you what happened. I am in a hotel, and I have a cold, and if you think I'm snippy now, you stand to make it much, much worse.
<merlinofchaos> dgtlcomrade: What you should do right now is thank me for explaining what you need to do to fix the issue, then fix the issue.
<dgtlcomrade> merlinofchaos, im not going to suck your toes, but thanks for the help, a lot of crap can be solved if programmers bother to write intuitive well described interfaces (as im sure you're aware from writing views UIs)
<dgtlcomrade> merlinofchaos, but theres NO mention of this on the page, that this is what happens when you select 'security release'
<hunmonk> dgtlcomrade: then write a patch for it
<merlinofchaos> dgtlcomrade: I am not responsible for this system, I am merely informing you. If you don't want me to ever be helpful to you agian, please, continue right on bitching at me.
<hunmonk> dgtlcomrade: do something besides complain about how you don't like it
