I'd like to discuss this. As it stands, we're around a week away from shipping an alpha, and feature freezing. At this point, we have already committed libweston breakage such that the SOVERSION has hit 3. So far, we have nothing to offer for this breakage, just a bunch of bugfixes and a pile of cleanups and groundwork that will only become useful with future features. Quentin has a queue of work he'd like to get through here: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/bundle/sardemff7/next%20release/ There are a lot of patches in Patchwork we should really get through as well, but I don't have time this week (travelling atm). I would also like to get the atomic precursor work[0] landed if at all possible. And I'm sure others have their own wishlists: Derek's no-FD-leak series comes to mind, and I'm sure there are others if we looked and triaged properly. So, my question: is it worth releasing now, or is a delay in order? If we are to delay, we should set a new deadline, and put reasoning behind this. For example, as a strawman, I believe about 6 weeks should be sufficient to get aforementioned atomic work reviewed and landed, and it seems like we could also get Derek's FD leak series plus the libweston output object changes reviewed in that time as well. Also I think we should start having these discussions for future releases. To be clear, this is _not_ about feature-based releases, but looking at the time we have, and trying to concentrate all our efforts towards things we would like to have for the release. If we had some clear goals of what we thought we could get into the release, and what would be valuable, we could put our efforts towards that, and hopefully have some more focused releases. Thoughts? Cheers, Daniel [0] Specifically, everything up to and including the 'atomic modesetting support' patch, which lays the groundwork by adding the state objects. All the work to actually properly assign planes on top of that, will need to wait another cycle, given the lack of time for review. _______________________________________________ wayland-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/wayland-devel
