Hi Edison, Thank you for your email, I suggest you read my reply to Min’s email as well: http://markmail.org/message/vytkbqhdjmhewonl
Let me begin by saying that perhaps I was unable to capture everyone’s imagination with my proposal, I’ll work on my writing skills and try to keep them short and objective. I think I’ve an answer to satisfy your worries but if at the end of reading this email you’re not satisfied, instead of going back and forth on this thread we could talk on phone, Skype, GTM etc. (whatever is convenient for you, my contact details can be found in my signature). Now, this voting thread (and also in the proposal thread) has nothing to do with "enforcing quality", but has: 1. Change of flow: Get people more involved with release branches: get their stuff to release branches first via a hotfix/bugfix branch and then merge -ff (or cherry-pick) to master, feature branches etc. 2. Baseline protocol: Give a guideline for contributors on how to fix something that spans multiple releases and branches, for example starting with oldest version/release (firm) to latest and then to master (soft) etc. Since, I’m not trying to solve any “quality control” issue, I cannot take the responsibility of trying to fix anything around it as well. Therefore, it will be only fair if you could re-read what we’re voting on and return back with your unbiased, individual and objective opinion.

Good ideas, I think you should start a proposal thread and help with actionable items. At present, I’m not trying to address the aforementioned challenges because it will be tricky and I don’t have a solution. This will be important for us but will be challenging, IMHO will be time taking and call for: - getting everyone’s agreement - a change of culture - requirement of infrastructure - expecting everyone learning to use the new system and workflow - workflow enforcement and policing I think we do have (some) CI solutions, I may be wrong but I recall Hugo made some build job to trigger on all branches starting with “hotfix” or some prefix, so we do have such things. This week, Ian and Sebastien found a cheap way of having a CI for testing with simulator on TravisCI which is free (as in cost). > For above reason, I am -1(binding) on your proposal for now until we solve > the quality control problem. Thank you for your vote, it’s important that we don’t make a mistake. But since the reason mentioned had nothing to do with the voting proposal I would welcome your reconsideration.
