On second thought, this would require additional work for driver developers who would also need to deliver these same changes to the master branch. If the goal is to get more testing on code which is closer to 'master', then releasing 'master' more often seems like the best way to manage that. Of course, we could do both -- release master more often, *and* allow driver maintainers to back-port hardware support to the stable branch. Hardware support that depends on major X server changes may not get back-ported at all. I have a slight preference for faster releases; I don't think it significantly increases the burden for most developers as they'll work From master in any case. The trick is to mostly ignore the 'merge window' until you're actually ready to submit code for release, at which point you just check what the current release phase is and either submit immediately or pend until the next suitable window. -- keith.pack...@intel.com
