thanks @paskino.
I've changed the version number to 1.0.0-rc1. no need to change this for the VM I think.

I cannot see how you can create the final VM before all the stuff above is ticked though... Seems to me you need to untick from vagrant up. or you could choose the update it I guess.

[KrisThielemans]

@casperdcl do we need a docker tag step? (If so, please put it in the original checklist.md as well)

[paskino]

@KrisThielemans you are absolutely right. Today I created a new VM to test if that worked.

[casperdcl]

@KrisThielemans

1. I'd really recommend 1.0.0-rc.1 since rc.1 < rc.10 but rc1 > rc10 by semver's convention
2. I added my docker branch to milestone 1.0.0 for the SuperBuild so that the docker side of things will be completely automated by Travis. Will merge nowish.

[KrisThielemans]

sure. rc.1 is fine for me.

[KrisThielemans]

@casperdcl should we tag SIRF_data as well? I guess so

[KrisThielemans]

@paskino, please update doc/ReleaseChecklist.md according to any changes here after we're done.

[paskino]

Only SIRF TAG is different this time?

[paskino]

What do you reckon? The VM version can be 1.0.0? without rc.1? Or with?

[KrisThielemans]

let's leave with. then no changes presumably.
people can always update afterwards

[paskino]

There's a travis error https://travis-ci.org/CCPPETMR/SIRF-SuperBuild/jobs/341865694 which is related to a network problem rather than our software.

[casperdcl]

It's merged in now (SyneRBI/SIRF-SuperBuild#90) and @KrisThielemans deleted the branch which is why the PR build failed. master seems to be building fine though apart from https://travis-ci.org/CCPPETMR/SIRF-SuperBuild/jobs/341868335 which I just restarted

[casperdcl]

ok all passed, please do continue with the checklist...
