Hello,
Stefan is off for this entire month, so let's try organizing the release a
bit while he's gone!
We had previously agreed to start the freeze "after Cedric's branches
merged". That branch was merged some time ago, and it seems we are already
in bug fixing mode.
After speaking a bit with bu5hm4n/Marcel, who has been handling a lot of
the bug fixing, I propose the following:
* We consider the freeze to have started as of last Friday (1 June 2018),
and proceed from there.
* During the freeze period, all newly-submitted features (ie. anything
submitted on or after the freeze start date) must go through patch review
and receive 2+ approvals from core developers; if employed by Samsung, the
developers must not work for the same office.
I was under the impression that one of the points of a freeze is that no
new features could be added and we can focus on bug fixes. Your mention
of newly-submitted features "after the freeze start date" is a little
misleading....
* Feature patches submitted prior to the freeze date which are still under
review and have received review comments prior to the freeze date can be
merged/landed through normal patch review.
Marcel has also been working on improvements to our bug handling workflow
which will be explained in a forthcoming mail. I believe that these methods
should enable us to be in a good position to execute a release on or near
the time of Stefan's return.
If nobody disagrees with the basic premise of beginning the freeze,
https://phab.enlightenment.org/T6926 is a great place to start looking for
things to work on.
No disagreements here.
Cheers,
Chris
regards,
Mike
