If devel is frozen, how would we get conflicts between it and db-devel before the rollout? > Doing this we could also be deploying just from devel rather than > db-devel, rather than switching between them just for the once a month > release. When you say "deploying", are you talking about the fact that we have to land RC branches on db-devel? I think this dance is all necessitated by edge, since we can't update it after db-devel is merged into devel. Since we already switch to landing on db-devel when pqm closes, I don't think that switching back to devel on the day before the rollout really provides any benefit. -Edwin _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
