All,

15.05 should definitely not be treated as a "mainline" branch, neither 
in core nor in the packages tree. A security update-focused CC release 
can be expected sometime this year - bumping 3.18 to the latest, 
upgrading core packages and external packages, etc. -, but even without 
a release, the for-15.05 should contain security and bugfixes only. If 
there is a major bug in a package which needs to be fixed, a larger 
version jump can be accepted, but not for just the sake of jumping to 
the latest and shiniest.


(Thanks Karl for bringing this up.)

Thanks,

Re: [OpenWrt-Devel] Package updates in the for-15.05 branch (libuv)

2016-11-10 Thread Karl Palsson

libuv was recently udpated too:
https://github.com/openwrt/packages/commit/d8d457e52c2560bab4cf49182762bb4a8fe6019c

from 1.4.2 to 1.9.1, though fortunately that at least seems to be
ABI compatible:

I'm concerned that given the lack of release from both LEDE and
OpenWrt, people are starting to treat the for-15.05 branch like a
free for all "mainline" branch again.
