Ok, the last expected code changes have been committed, so I'm officially closing the tree until we get 1.8.2 out the door. All checkins must be approved by the release manager (me).
I'm currently aware of three remaining issues that block or appear to block the release: #668: work is complete, Zooko said he would do some manual testing and close the ticket shortly #1335: I noticed the buildbot's "tarballs" builder red yesterday, and it turns out the problem is that the "tahoe-deps.tar.gz" tarball was accidentally built incorrectly when it was updated last week. Zooko has agreed to fix this, hopefully today or tomorrow. This blocks 1.8.2 but doesn't require changes to the Tahoe source tree itself. "test-with-fake-pkg" buildbot failures: zooko says these are chronically misunderstood, and plans to explain what they really mean in ticket #1239. From my casual observation, it appears that the buildstep fails whenever the host buildslave contains a too-old version of some library that also happens to be a Tahoe dependency (for example Foolscap, or Twisted, which is used by buildbot itself). That doesn't mean *Tahoe* would fail on those hosts, since this buildstep is intended to find out what happens when Tahoe is used in a slightly unusual way. But we would like the whole buildbot to be green, so we'll need to think a bit about how to test the things we care about and also not get false-negatives from our test infrastructure. I'll be assembling the NEWS entries over the next few days and updating other in-tree docs. Now is the time to test, test, test! Please report your results #1306, the 1.8.2 release ticket, starting from the quickstart.rst instructions. OS packagers, please run your scripts against the code in trunk and tell us about any problems you see, so that the final release can be packaged smoothly on your OS of choice. Target release date is in one week: 30-Jan-2011. counting down! -Brian _______________________________________________ tahoe-dev mailing list tahoe-dev@tahoe-lafs.org http://tahoe-lafs.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tahoe-dev
