I'll be doing the release on behalf of Vijay. I had hoped to do the release right now (22-Jun-2016 UTC 1330), but I'm postponing it to tomorrow, to give my hurting hand some rest. This gives maintainers a little more time to provide the missing ACKs. ACKs have been obtained for GlusterD, Geo-Rep, Snapshots, Tiering, NFS, transports(tcp,rdma). Quota has an iffy ACK, as 2 more changes have been requested for merging, but they don't have proper all the flags to be merged yet. The ACK doesn't say if these 2 changes were included. Major components yet to recieve ACKs are AFR, DHT and EC. DHT also has a couple of changes that were requested for merging. I've merged one, the other doesn't have all the flags. ~kaushal > > Thanks, > Kaushal > > [1] https://www.gluster.org/pipermail/maintainers/2016-April/000679.html > [2] https://www.gluster.org/pipermail/maintainers/2016-June/000847.html _______________________________________________ maintainers mailing list [email protected] http://www.gluster.org/mailman/listinfo/maintainers
