Folks,

The VPP master branch is now closed for the branch pull of stable/1904.

Please do NOT merge any patches until I give the all clear once the branch pull 
has been completed and verified.

I will send an update when master is re-open for business.

Thanks in advance for your cooperation!

I don't think merging patches will do any harm, stable branch creation is just 
using reference to specific commit-id, and that one doesn’t need to be latest 
one on master.
Not unless one manages to bog up the branch pull / label process, which I 
managed to do the on the first release I managed.  It was much easier to clean 
up the mess without new patches on master.

And since I tend to be a bit pedantic, it annoys me that there are XX.YY-rc1 
tags and XX.ZZ-rc0 tags which aren't on the same patch due to merges on master 
during the branch pull process.
They shouldn't be, both tags should be put on 2 different patches which share 
same parent which is also branching point.

i.e.

----a---b----c----- master
            \----d----- stable/xx.yy

c should get xx.(yy+3)-rc0 tag
d shoud get xx.yy-rc1 tag
b is branching point....
Good point.  Since we no longer merge a JVPP version update patch to master, the current process doesn't produce the desired result.

As it stands, 'b' has the label "v19.08-rc0" and 'c' has the label "v19.04-rc1".  I'll delete the tab v19.08-rc0 and put it on the 1st patch merged to master.

And will update the process on the wiki appropriately.

Thanks for the clarification!
