Greetings Tahoe-LAFS developers! I've agreed to be the release manager for the upcoming 1.8.2 . This will be a pretty small release: the main goal is to fix the somewhat embarassing incompatibility with the recent Twisted-10.2 release (ticket #1286). We're also aiming to get in a few other small fixes while we're at it[1], the biggest being #755 (make deep-repair tolerate broken unrepairable files and directories).
The plan is to freeze in a week (Monday, January 17th), and then cut the final release a week later (about Monday, January 24th). If you've got small non-destabilizing fixes that you want to get into this release, get a patch up on trac, add a "review-needed" keyword to the ticket[2], and pester someone responsible to review+land them before the 17th. If they're too big, we'll hold off landing them until after 1.8.2 has shipped, but get them into review anyways so they'll be ready to go as soon as the tree re-opens. After 1.8.2 is out the door, we'll start landing some more destabilizing patches, in particular some of the GSoC work and some of my Accounting work, aiming at a 1.9.0 release in a couple of months. cheers, -Brian [1]: http://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/milestone/1.8.2 [2]: http://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/query?status=!closed&keywords=~review-needed&group=milestone&col=id&col=summary&col=keywords&col=status&col=owner&col=type&col=priority&col=time&col=changetime&desc=1&order=changetime _______________________________________________ tahoe-dev mailing list [email protected] http://tahoe-lafs.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tahoe-dev
