Hello everyone, A few hours late (we just squeezed in the branches we could), now GammaFreeze is in effect. From now on, extra care is needed before merging branches:
* Only release-critical issues should be fixed * Merge proposals should explain why we can't release with this bug, and why it is very unlikely to trigger any regression * Extensive testing should be performed by the proposer The bugfix gain will be compared with the estimated risk of regression and a GammaFreezeException (GFE) granted or denied. Starting now, -core members should not approve any branch for merging unless they get this specific GFE approval. Non-RC known bugs (or denied merge proposals) will remain unfixed and can be documented in: http://wiki.openstack.org/ReleaseNotes/Bexar You can find the lists of RC issues at: https://launchpad.net/nova/+milestone/bexar-rc https://launchpad.net/glance/+milestone/bexar-rc https://launchpad.net/swift/+milestone/1.2.0 Ping me or a driver of the corresponding product to get a bug you found added to the lists, prefixing the bug title in Launchpad with "[RC]" also works. Reducing the number of merges should allow us to concentrate our resources on RC bugs and on looking for overlooked critical issues, while avoiding to introduce last-minute regressions. The next step is RCFreeze (EOD Tuesday, next week), where we completely stop merging unless some very unusual situation require us to do otherwise.
