[opensuse-packaging] Factory freeze
Hi, There seems to be some information missing about the state of Factory. With Milestone6 (the original deadline - last monday) all packages are version and feature frozen. This means: do not push new features / new versions / new packages towards Factory just because they are there. If you find that 11.3 will seriously lack something when not updating, then tell me personally or a list about it and give pros and cons. And let me get the biggest con straight: what we have in now has 2 months of testing, what we get later gets less testing. What you do in devel projects, is of course your concern - and pushing things there to test is of course a valid approach to convince me. Of course we exceeded the point where "succeeded" marks the end of testing.

I would like to update the glibc to 2.11.2, would that be ok? It will be a pure bugfix release consisting just of cherry-picked fixes from the master, some of them just being our local patches and some others addressing bugs in bugzilla. (A -rc for that is now cooking in Base:System, if things go smooth, I would like to tag 2.11.2 next Wednesday.) -- Petr "Pasky" Baudis When I feel like exercising, I just lie down until the feeling goes away. -- xed_over -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org

Hi Petr, I trust you to judge a pure bugfix release from a risk release, so go ahead. Greetings, Stephan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org
