The 11.3.0 cycle is coming to a close. Hopefully without distracting too much from it, I wanted to circulate some brief notes on what follows.
The steering goals for 11.3.0 have been to have a good quality release for deployments using XO-1 and XO-1.5, and a known-stable stack to serve as scaffolding to the XO-1.75 efforts. We haven't finished 11.3.0 yet but I think there is ample evidence that it is working. On the XO-1.75 front, we are clearly a little further from finished -- our release candidates for XO-1.75 aren't really. But that's natural with software changes riding on top of hardware changes. So our plan is to release 11.3.0 as planned; and open a second deep-freeze bugfix window that will lead to 11.3.1 . During this period we will accept - XO-1.75 platform improvements -- namely drivers and kernel fixes. - High importance regression bugs elsewhere in the stack, only after careful triaging. After the 11.3.0 cycle, we don't expect any here. The timeframe for this bugfix window is still unclear. The dashing Daniel will be released from his release management duties once he releases 11.3.0. For the 11.3.1, I will drive the release process, and will be begging for help from experienced RMs (hi Simon!) and Peter for the build process. Not only we are losing a widely feared RM, but also a fantastic debugger and across-the-stack hacker. Hoping Daniel continues to work with us going forward. After 11.3.x, we have a major leap ahead. The next development cycle breaks all of our toys, with systemd, gtk/PyGO, GNOME3, NetworkManager, Linux 3.x on x86 and F-16-ARMv7HL. Too bad Debian has the "Lenny" name taken. cheers, m -- [email protected] -- Software Architect - OLPC - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
