Denis I cannot comment on Oracle development processes but the Whamcloud processes are laid out on http://wiki.whamcloud.com/display/PUB/Lustre+Development.
Many of the Whamcloud team (including Andreas and myself) have been involved with Lustre since the CFS days. The Whamcloud release has the backing of the Lustre community groups (EOFS\OpenSFS) - see http://www.whamcloud.com/news/opensfs-and-whamcloud-sign-lustre-community-tree-development-agreement/ and http://www.eofs.eu/index.php?id=6 . If you would like to keep abreast of developments relating to Whamcloud releases then you should sign up to the Whamcloud mailing list - https://groups.google.com/a/whamcloud.com/group/wc-discuss/subscribe Regards Peter On 11-12-19 8:38 AM, Charland, Denis wrote: >> As in "there are some different patches in our 1.8.7-wc1 release than in >> Oracle's 1.8.7 release, because we made> our 1.8.7-wc1 release on Oct 31, 3 >> months after our 1.8.6-wc1 release, but Oracle just tagged their 1.8.7 >> release> this week". >> >> We do monitor each others releases to keep the patch differential to a >> minimum. > Thanks for the info Andreas. > > For the benefit of the Lustre community, could you briefly explain how the > Lustre development is done at both Oracle and Whamcloud?
