Thanks for clarifying that Roland, sounds like what is in git in between
releases should be considered quite unstable then, so I'll stay well
away until the next release. Looking forward to it :-)
regards,
Eddie

I keep an eye on commits to the drbd 9 repository

I'm planning on rebooting a couple of drbd servers using 9.0.14-1 this
weekend to update the kernels (I use the kernel.org stable releases) and am
thinking I might build the kernels with the latest drbd git rather than the
9.0.14-1 tarball.
My question is, how "unstable" would you guys say the latest git is?
Is it a case of "Don't even think about doing that, you're crazy, you'll be
lucky if it even builds, we don't even test it ourselves. Just stick to the
releases or it will eat your data." ?
Or is it more like "there is a small risk you'll be burnt since it has not
been widely tested, you're on your own of course, but more than likely we've
fixed more bugs than we've introduced so it will probably be OK" ?
Maybe it's an impossible question .. just trying to get a feel ...
It is one of those impossible questions. The reason why we push things
in between releases might have various reasons. Maybe we show a proposed
fix, maybe we show something new for testing (which might break things).
For in-between there is no "guarantee" what so ever, sorry, there is no
general rule. And usually we also don't push public in between releases.
But the next release should be "real soon now" ;-).
