Hello,

In an effort to provide a longer quality control window for quarterly
releases the Linaro Toolchain Working Group will be making some changes
to the release process starting with the forthcoming 2015.04 products.

Little will change for the consumers of TCWG products.

The current monthly source release of the 'stable' Linaro GCC source
archives posted to releases.linaro.org <http://releases.linaro.org> will
move to snapshots.linaro.org <http://snapshots.linaro.org> and will be
designated 'monthly snapshots'.


Along with this monthly source snapshot - just to be explicit, will Linaro also provide binaries produced from the source tarball ?

Ramana

The exact location will be announced when the 2015.04 Toolchain
component source archive release notes are posted to this mailing list.

These monthly snapshots will continue to have branch merges, performance
fixes, security fixes, and correctness fixes applied on a monthly
basis.  They will also continue to have validation across a variety of
common ARM targets performed (per backport) against them.

TCWG will introduce the concept of a 'release candidate source archive'
and 'release candidate binary toolchain archive' six weeks before the
projected release date of the Quarterly Binary Toolchain Release.  For
example, the 2015.05 Quarterly Binary Toolchain and Quarterly Source
Archive will be based upon the 2015.04 source archive snapshot.

Release candidate source and binary archives will be posted to
snapshots.linaro.org <http://snapshots.linaro.org>.

This release candidate will receive the scrutiny of internal and
external stakeholders for six weeks and give an opportunity to evaluate
the forth-coming Quarterly Binary Toolchain Archive and Source Archive
Release.  Problems found with the release candidates will result in the
availability of incremental release candidate archives.

The official quarterly release will be posted to releases.linaro.org
<http://releases.linaro.org>.

Please direct any questions or concerns to this mailing list or to me
directly.
