Hi all,
as already announced we're slightly modifying the schedule for the
upcoming glibc-2.40 release this time. We start with the soft freeze
6 weeks before release, so there is more time for machine testing on
slow/unusual/old architectures.
- June 18, "soft freeze"
* No new ABI additions *started*
* ABI corrections should be reviewed, RM approval not required.
* Avoid any changes that require action by the ports (including all
that require ulps regeneration)
* Bug fixes
* Monday patch review switches to
- reviewing critical bug list,
- ABI issues, and
- acceptance or deferring of patch series already
available on the list / in patchwork
* "What still needs to go in?"
Right now the list of "desirables" on the wiki page is still empty.
https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/Release/2.40#Desirable_this_release.3F
Please reply to this list with your wishes and recommendations of
what existing work we should still add before the release.
- July 4, "hard freeze"
* Machine testing
* Noncritical bug fixes
* No ABI changes without RM discussion.
* High risk bug fixes should be discussed on the list.
- August 1, release
Cheers,
Andreas
