Given that 2.2.6 was released in April, our quarterly release schedule for that branch will result in a 2.2.7 at the end of July. That means that any necessary merge work should really be done sometime in the next couple of weeks so that we have adequate time to review and test all such changes. In an attempt to make this process a little easier, I'll attempt to enumerate some of the tasks which various working groups will probably want to check off their lists between now and the end of July: o Documentation folks: Verify that spelling corrections and other general improvements to the manual pages are incorporated. The Handbook, FAQ and tutorials always track -current, so no merge work is necessary for any docs but those in /usr/src. o Driver hackers: If you've brought in generic improvements or fixed a bug with a driver you're responsible for in -current, take a quick minute to see if the work is also applicable to -stable. o MSDOS FS hackers: The MSDOS filesystem support in 2.2-stable is pretty broken, giving you more leeway than most in merging changes, but you should also be careful not to make things worse (obviously). Those working on VFAT/FAT32 support for 2.2's msdosfs should therefore start getting their work ready for incorporation pretty soon if it's going to happen at all. o Security folks Check your CERT advisories and whatnot against the state of -stable today. Sometimes things are missed. o Ports team: Please make sure that your various foo.mk files are up to date. o Userland folks: If you have something in dire need of upgrading which is also a low risk (conservatism with 2.2-stable does not necessarily equal total stasis), please get in touch with me and we can discuss it. o Release folks: If you have any improvements under /usr/src/release for packaging or sysinstall, now is the time to raise them with me.
