I doubt anyone will do any 'future developement' stuff in the near future, so branching now and fixing issues on two tracks in parallel would be a nuisance. > - Go through the 715 open bugs and identify the goals to finalize for > 3.4.0 release Right.

The ipv6 for sa-update is now ready (Bug 6654). The sa-update state transitions to avoid frequent downloads from mirrors on misconfigured sites should be a priority (Bug 6655). > - Add a jenkins/hudson build for the 3.4.x branch > - Add DNS entries and make sure rule updates are ready for 3.4.x branch > - Goal is to prepare an rc1 for 3.4.0 on or about 9/30 through normal > procedures, voting, etc. moving toward an eventual release shortly > thereafter > - Post-release, trunk and 3.4 branch will be kept in sync perfectly and > all programmers will write code with zero bugs ;-) > Anything I missed? It's not too bad if we miss the target date by a week or two, as long as we get a ball rolling. Mark
