However, there are two issues that I would like to address *somehow* before we decide that the hard freeze is now. Those are the issue 1599 fix by Adolfo that just landed in the patch tracker (and will need some review and probably at least one amendment iteration). The other is the http packs stuff, which is partially in, but it's not in a good enough shape for release (due to --lazy breakage, etc.). I think there are two main options: - slip the 2.5 cycle a bit - release 2.5 without these, but let them into 2.5.1 I am more inclined for the latter, actually. The plan of action would therefore be to: - roll back the HTTP packing from branch-2.5 (but keep it untouched on HEAD, since we have diverged the branches anyway) - release 2.5 on schedule (as below) - land the above changes in HEAD in the meantime - post-2.5, roll out a 2.5.1 (probably a couple weeks later) that would include these two (and maybe others as needed) The main downside here is, I think, that the rollback patch is going to conflict with the later patches that depend on the original. On the other hand, rolling this back on HEAD is going to land our students in trouble since their work in progress will conflict badly with the rollback. One of the options may be to re-branch 2.5.1 from HEAD, which would mean it'll miss the 2.5 tag, but I guess that's no big deal... It'll be also some extra work. Hard call if you ask me... > On Sunday July 25th (N+17), beta 2 is tagged and relased > On Sunday August 1st (N+24), rc1 is taggd and released > On Saturday August 7th (N+30), rc2 or final is tagged and released Yours, Petr. _______________________________________________ darcs-users mailing list darcs-users@darcs.net http://lists.osuosl.org/mailman/listinfo/darcs-users
