Hello, I found that an MRE request was acked in 2015 for virtualbox, but since then, the workflow has changed a lot, so I'm asking again for an MRE exceptiom related to virtualbox. I already created the wiki page with the process, I will try to update it to match the current expectation criteria
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/VirtualboxUpdates thanks for considering it G. ----- Messaggio inoltrato ----- Da: Martin Pitt <martin.p...@ubuntu.com> A: "costamagnagianfra...@yahoo.it" <costamagnagianfra...@yahoo.it> Cc: "technical-bo...@lists.ubuntu.com" <technical-bo...@lists.ubuntu.com>; "secur...@ubuntu.com" <secur...@ubuntu.com> Inviato: mercoledì 4 novembre 2015 alle ore 02:26:02 CET Oggetto: Re: MRE request: virtualbox Hello Gianfranco, Gianfranco Costamagna [2015-10-29 18:50 +0100]: > I would like to apply for a micro release exception for Virtualbox Since [1] we actually did away with (most) explicit MREs, and adjusted the SRU policy to generalize those. [1] https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel-announce/2015-September/001152.html > Upstream: > > - Micro releases happen from low-volume stable branches, > approximately once every two months. > > - Stable branches are supported with bug fixes for some years > (normally 5 years + 6 months or more). > > - Upstream commits are reviewed by members of the Virtualbox Server > Engineering team. > > - All commits to stable branches are evaluated wrt. potential > regressions and signed off by the Virtualbox team. > > - Unit tests and regression tests are run on multiple platforms per > push to the source code repository. In addition, there are more > extensive test suites run daily and weekly. > > - Each micro release receives extensive testing between code freeze > and release. This includes the full functional test suite, > performance regression testing, load and stress testing and > compatibility and upgrade testing from previous micro and > minor/major releases. > > - Tests are run on all supported platforms (currently amd64 and i386). This satisfies the current policy, so this looks fine for SRUing. Martin -- Martin Pitt | http://www.piware.de Ubuntu Developer (www.ubuntu.com) | Debian Developer (www.debian.org)
