=3D=3D=3D 1.6.3pre feedback =3D=3D=3D

Nothing new. Jeff is still running pre2 on his servers (where pre2 =3D =
pre3), Stephan is running pre3 on EL5/6 clients and an EL5 DAFS =
Fileserver. No feedback, positive or negative, was received from the =
community (except RT #131665 which we can't do anything about in for =
1.6.3).

=3D=3D=3D 1.6.3pre3 binaries =3D=3D=3D

Stephen built for Red Hat in Edinburgh, the available files were =
uploaded during the meeting. It's unlikely that we'll have anything else =
soon.

=3D=3D=3D 1.6.3 release timing =3D=3D=3D

The announcement went public June the 3rd. According to last week's =
decision, 1.6.3 should be tagged on June the 17th unless anything =
unexpected happens.

=3D=3D=3D repository RPMs =3D=3D=3D

Stephan is about to build the openafs-repository packages for Red Hat, =
but would like to rename them to "openafs-release".

=3D=3D=3D signing all files for a release on grand.central.org? =3D=3D=3D

The git tags are signed, thus the source tarballs' integrity can (at =
least in theory) be verified. The same for the RPMs from Edinburgh, with =
the public keys available in earlier openafs-repository packages. The =
SuSE RPMs are signed, but we don't provide easy access to the public =
key. The OS X installer is not signed, nor are the binary tarballs we =
provide for Solaris, FreeBSD and others.

Stephan proposes to sign everything not already covered, and store the =
public keys in git and thus make them part of the source tarball - which =
is already considered trusted due to the signed tag. src/packaging/keys/ =
would be a good location. We hope for a discussion on the mailing lists.

=3D=3D=3D next stable release =3D=3D=3D

There isn't all that much to do right now regarding the 1.6.3 release, =
so Stephan thought it's a good time to discuss the =
not-so-straightforward changes we may or may not accept for the release =
after. Andrew volunteered to go through the candidates in gerrit and =
mark them in a way allowing others to get a list view.
