Hi,
Are you aiming for 3.8 or will we stick with 3.7.X? Next week I want to release Beta1 and it should have the correct code line for the kernel. If your choice is 3.8, then we should go to RC2 IMO.
We can do 3.8 if the the possibility of slipping the 12.3 release date until after 3.8 goes final is on the table. The kernel typically takes 90 days between releases and, ignoring any delays due to the holidays, that puts the next release at approx 11 Mar. As we've seen in past releases, peak instability is at -rc2 (which is already merged modulo Xen and the ext4 richacl support, which needs upstream coordination and a path to convert existing users if there are any). I've already merged the -rc2 kernel into master, so that part is easy enough. It's the commitment on the back end to be able to slip the schedule that's important.
Nah, that won't work then. GM is for 7 Mar - I don't want us to put ourselves in Linus' hands, so we would need to release with a RC with a promised final update. But that wouldn't be fair to neither the kernel community or to our users, so then let's go with a 3.7.X and change the devel project now.
Yeah, I wouldn't want to release GM with an RC kernel either. Sticking with 3.7 is easy enough. - -Jeff - -- Jeff Mahoney SUSE Labs -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG/MacGPG2 v2.0.18 (Darwin) Comment: GPGTools - http://gpgtools.org Comment: Using GnuPG with undefined - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJQ7E9PAAoJEB57S2MheeWy7DUP/3qWkAqrwNOQfP0+0JzcDTTY Oagv2Mw6+b0ZRjjmP9PbfvLf+4v5AdUehpE2zx2M7A3lNeKEuOGnIy7fDTbz5doV GAuHqCIeRFB1Xxtlk2stf/x9EQhMP7ec0VNpznTKTGmMBZPxiQgufjOLsV54UB2X l0/nhfXYW9b317Pirnt14truw8sX8qZLQXSBdfYhbqAC1Z3HPADVNU3G84rGd6wU v+t+hdpR7p3t0DMirYUmQTfIaTaPbNRUr+CHAznvsGHNerj/aBrd20vhnxarbxmq NgedzLo0m/L4Zy3S/1Fn6vm9YRUoTTkZ1GTzx0Pnny8PpT5Fdw7spnCnkDI5Cdhg 5b61qm5CndRaSvr+lvhQgr/h5ah29MSddtbH8YVlpOWAh9WWdTpQQisM+m4OFydj PHZMLf9zghSnY+jBWYYRlc+gZidUOVmDhuKsiACsMnwBSHls78ql7aOGGPoOxxNG ZFnUSDbMCZUJgQineMLJK94+t71XqVlaK9EYCcXx2W6ziM54/vb/72imSoST5QXz ooT8tOe6KY96JWaaqiP6k9RgSn+Ds2WCrMB2TBe80Ut+XNDeDM+jRjbmOpsSkuJp m/4H3BJsx1HZw7dzSIwEZoynQPSQptHriuLbuY4VcuPbpu3bVlLxp/og6pDOfSub XtZtenOCHgNZLEJSGdBZ =gXW5 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+owner@opensuse.org
