Hi all,
Now that 2.6.1 is done, it’s time to look forward to 2.6.2. Things to take
care of:
(#1) Branch:
— The first step in this is getting the branch ready.
— As I mentioned before [1], the plan is to rebase branch-2.6 based off
branch-2.6.1 i.e. start with 2.6.1 + add patches that are already in
today’s branch-2.6. This is because, as I noted before, the other way
around of applying 150 odd 2.6.1 patches on today’s 2.6 is very cumbersome.
— Unless I hear otherwise, we will start this process next week.
(#2) Release:
— My current idea is to consistently roll out a point release every
month, so for 2.6.2, we can target an RC exactly a month from now (2.6.1
release date)
(#3) Patches
— 2.6.2 will have the few patches that committers already put into
branch-2.6. In addition, we should triage and analyze tickets that are
already marked [2] against 2.6.2.
— Thoughts / inputs welcome on any patches that you want in 2.6.2.
Please use “Target Version = 2.6.2” if you want any patch in the release.
Thanks,
+Vinod
