New uploads must meet the criterion for Feature Freeze Exception. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FreezeExceptionProcess "A request for an exception to FeatureFreeze should demonstrate that the benefit of new functionality, or the total benefit of a new upstream release which includes it, outweighs the risk of regressions and other potential disruption of the release process." Bugfixes easy, New code hard. > Its Feature Freeze day today!!! I couldn't quite work out if that meant today was the last day for getting stuff in, or the first day you couldn't without a freeze exception. I guess the latter. Unfortunately the sync request for gEDA 1.4.0 hasn't been done yet.. I hope this doesn't mean the need to spend a lot of time justifying the 1.2.1 -> 1.4.0 delta. -- Peter Clifton Electrical Engineering Division, Engineering Department, University of Cambridge, 9, JJ Thomson Avenue, Cambridge CB3 0FA Tel: +44 (0)7729 980173 - (No signal in the lab!) _______________________________________________ geda-dev mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-dev
