Hubbard" Subject: Policy on -stable Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-stable@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi! This is a mail regarding the core-team policy on stable which might be of general intrest. From the mails over recent days, it is obvious that the current situation with -stable is greatly broken and is redunt to be continued. But as there has been no clear enough announcement from the core team on the future of -stable (sorry if it's just me), let me ask: 1) Shall there be 2 releases based on -stable, like planned before (that is - 2.1.1-RELEASE and 2.1.5-RELEASE) or just one. 2) Shall an attempt be made to find resources (and a full-timer) to keep -stable (mean a non-active attempt from the part of the core-team rather than going out and trying to find the money). 3) If -stable is dropped (as it seems to be more then possible on the moment) what will be the future policy on -stable-like things? Shall there be a -stable branch for some time before the release to which only bug-fixes will be applied? Shall there be a post-relese -stable-like bug-fix branch? I'm sorry if no decisions like these exist, in which case please just ignore this mail. PLEASE! DON'T ANYBODY BUT THE CORE-TEAM MEMBERS ANSWER TO THIS MAIL! With best regards, Sander
