I disagree. We only made bugfixes in the last days, except maybe one patch (that came with a lot of unit tests). That's how this works: we fix things we need to fix before we do a release. Also, due to the nice CI hookup we have now pretty much all patches are pretty extensively tested individually before we merge them. > Especially https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/293 really sucks. If something is not in shape we'll revert it. Regardless of the general merits of the patch set: this one actually broke stuff, it was incomplete. Either you make the man pages dynamic, or you ship them pre-built. The patch set did both. That's broken, and hence has no place in a release. And I'd much rather see that stuff removed again than having to delay the release further. > Not amused, not amused at all. I am sorry you feel that way. I am not sure though what you suggest: delay releases until zero bugfixes have been applied for a week? Well, that would mean we'd never do releases again, sorry. We have to release some time. On monday I announced that I'll do a release today, there was ample time to test things, and we found a number of issues that way and fixed them as they came along. Since yesterday night there wasn't anything release-critical open anymore, so I slept one night and did the release today since nothing of importance popped up in the meantime.
