BTRFS tools 0.18 and FF exception...

2009-02-22 Thread Daniel J Blueman
The current version of btrfs-tools in jaunty is 0.16, which is
incompatible with BTRFS in 2.6.29 (when it's released in ~3 weeks).
Chris Mason may perform a standalone, unsupported BTRFS release for
2.6.28, so developers will be able to build this against jaunty's
stock kernel also.

Both of these paths will require the current btrfs-tools 0.18 release,
as the mkfs.btrfs 0.16 in jaunty isn't disk-format compatible.

As BTRFS support isn't provided with jaunty or it's kernel, is there
any harm in someone spining btrfs-tools 0.18 and getting it through
the feature freeze?

You wouldn't be adding _all_ REVU packages to your pbuilder  
environment, only the ones that passed muster and got +2 votes.

A package would be uploaded to Ubuntu's archive if it's open,  
otherwise the PPA.

I think it is important to maintain that packages in the PPA would  
have the same high quality as the distributed ones, except they didn't  
make the current distribution for administrative reasons etc.

Cheers,
Morten

After FF there's a period of ~ 2 months where we can't upload new  
packages.

I would be good to be able to finish the processing of those packages  
that are _almost_ finished, but just didn't make it. While it's still  
in fresh memory of the reviewers and uploaders.

Also,  many uploaders are quite disappointed. It would be a  
consolation if we published those packages that didn't quite make it  
(but still get +2 votes) on the PPA. They should be compiled for the  
version they "missed", currently jaunty. Thus, the PPA would contain a  
"preview" of packages that didn't make it for jaunty, but will be  
included in karmic.

Cheers,
Morten

I guess I'm missing something here. When a package has two advocates why
not upload it to the archive? Or do you mean upload it to the archive
and to the PPA? What's the benefit of it? Is the NEW processing that
slow that it blocks reviewing?
