Hi,
can't we just reuse:

https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/qgis-developer/2015-May/037717.html

we just have to update:

https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/compare/final-2_8_1...final-2_8_2

with the new comparison.

All the best.

 That said, if a sales  marketing dept exists, this is surely
 something it should take care of :)

That's why I proposed that one in bold :)

 My concern is more when https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/pull/2197 is going to be

Fair enough, no big deal.
And (accidental) backports during this time get reverted?

I guess the regression exception should be better defined,
how about just requesting that any commit to the branch should be

 +1, but I'd avoid the word freeze as it may be confusing.
 
 We're basically asking all developers to refrain from pushing more
 backports in that branch until 2.8.3 is released.

Oh, forgot to mention, we're also asking developers to _test_
the branch, or it would make no sense to wait another week, right ?
It might actually help to make an official call for testing on the
users list too. I'm sure many will be happy to test the next stable
release before it comes out (either from snapshot or directly from
git). I've submitted by make Experimental already.

Hi Matthias,

 Fair enough, no big deal.
 And (accidental) backports during this time get reverted?
 Any opinion concerning 2197? Will a deadline in 24h be good enough?

2197 doesn't apply to 2.8.

Re: [Qgis-developer] Freeze on release-2_8 branch

2015-07-13 Thread Matthias Kuhn
The general opinion seems to point towards freeze and not branch.

Regarding this, I would propose to put the freeze in place as of

Tue, Jul 14, 12:00 UTC

And - presuming there are no regressions found - 2.8.3 will be tagged on
Tue, Jul, 28.

Kind regards,
Matthias

+1 I planned to send a tweet tomorrow but any widespread call for
testing will be good (but mainly by power users and organizations who
actually use it. We cannot put that also on the developers back)
