If we release last minute on Friday - and I should really have set a exact time and zone beforehand - at say Anchorage time, we still have about 1 day, 14hrs[1] to work on 2.1 before it is branch 2.2. Although that will be 10am on Saturday for me - so at least 10hrs of precious packaging time gone ;) But to quote Tim: "We're not going anywhere". There will still be bugs in QGIS 2.3 to work on after the release. And I trust that you're not going to stop bug fixing just because the fixes don't make it into 2.2. Of course that's a bit odd and it's an relative arbitrarily set date (and time and zone) - but I'd still like to keep it. > With the new local unit test server classes, I feel pretty confident now that > any unit tests I make, to ensure the labeling bugs are fixed, should be valid > across all outputs. But, I have now run out of time. Good job. Although we now need lighttp and spawn-cgi now, don't we? I saw something in the cdash logs. Probably something I need to add to osgeo4w. > If I could work from now through Sunday, it would be very productive towards > labeling fixes for this release.

So we need to coordinate that I don't branch between two of your possibly dependant last minute commits? The interruption by branching should be short.
