Quoting Robert LeBlanc ([email protected]): > What is the milestone that will get 3.5 into Debian Squeeze?
We're still in the process of deciding whether we'll go for 3.4.* or 3.5 for squeeze. There are arguments for both: - 3.4.* releases are now rock solid and the risk of "important" issues to be discovered that would make these versions unsuitable for production servers is not very high while 3.5.* are fairly young as of now. - Strong support by the Samba Team for 3.4.* releases will be decreasing rapidly in the upcoming months and it might become hard to make this release alive for the planned two years of lifetime (at minimum) that squeeze will have after it's released. There are also several improvements bringed by 3.5 which our users would benefit from. My own stance is to go for 3.5 and, as one of the maintainers, I'll push for it. However, I want to ask to the Debian release team about their feeling for pushing point releases (3.5.2, 3.5.3, etc.) in squeeze during the time squeeze is frozen....It would help a lot if they agree that we can do this even late in the release process but you can imagine that they can't say "yes" to all such requests...otherwise the freeze is no longer a freeze. A key point is having my co-maintainer (Steve Langasek) advice about this. Other co-maintainers have agreed for having 3.5 in squeeze (particularly Matthieu Parent, who maintains ctdb) -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
