Hi Ops, Please see below excerpt from developer ML email regarding changes to stable branches. I think this is going to make life better :) Thanks to those of you who participated in the discussions at the summit.
The stable team always needs help, so if you're interested in finding out more, you can read the full thread at http://osdir.com/ml/openstack-dev/2014-11/msg00686.html . Regards, Tom -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [openstack-dev] [stable] Organizational changes to support stable branches Date: Thu, 13 Nov 2014 12:34:08 +0100 From: Thierry Carrez <[email protected]> To: OpenStack Development Mailing List <[email protected]> ... 5. To set expectations right and evolve the meaning of "stable" over time to gradually mean more "not changing", we propose to introduce support phases for stable branches. During the first 6 months of life of a stable branch (Phase I) any significant bug may be backported. During the next 6 months of life of a stable branch (Phase II), only critical issues and security fixes may be backported. After that and until end of life (Phase III), only security fixes may be backported. That way, at any given time, there is only one stable branch in "Phase I" support. 6. In order to raise awareness, all stable branch discussions will now happen on the -dev list (with prefix [stable]). The openstack-stable-maint list is now only used for periodic jobs reports, and is otherwise read-only. _______________________________________________ OpenStack-operators mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-operators
