Hi all, Beginning yesterday, the 2.5 branch of darcs has been deep-frozen. This means that only "release-critical fixes" can go in. This is the time to make it more concrete what a "release-critical fix" is.
Browsing the bug tracker and the mailing list, I see the following issues that
I would not like to see in a stable darcs release:
* The "HTTP packs stuff" mentioned by Petr in a reply to the announcement
of the release schedule
* The bug in bundle creation (http://bugs.darcs.net/issue1892)
* A bug in pulling a certain repo (http://bugs.darcs.net/issue1831, easily
reproducible)
* The brokenness of darcs diff --index (http://bugs.darcs.net/issue1290)
For issue1892, the second point, there is a patch waiting to be reviewed and
applied.
For the first point, Eric said it is easy to disable it. Eric, can you submit
a patch to do that?
For the last two points, we need volunteers to look at them and either fix
them or report that it's not worth fixing for 2.5 for some reason.
I will release the second beta this weekend as scheduled. After that I will
make new release candidates in as soon as a week has gone by and some of these
release-critical issues have been resolved.
Bye,
Reinier
