[OpenAFS-devel] release-team meeting minutes 2013-05-22

[Stephan Wiesand]

All,

it was proposed to send the minutes of our jabber meetings to the -devel =
list too, hopefully improving the transparency of the 1.6.x release =
process.

Regards,
	Stephan

=3D=3D=3D bugs reported against 1.6.3pre2 =3D=3D=3D

A client crash with Linux kernel 3.9.2 (the current Fedora kernel)was =
reported for the case that the cache fs is tmpfs or btrfs. Marc can =
provide a fix for tmpfs. Andrew will try to reproduce the btrfs problem.

It's not clear that either of those would warrant delaying the 1.6.3 =
release.

=3D=3D=3D 1.6.3 release: Linux 3.10 support =3D=3D=3D

Patches from Marc for the current state of 3.10 are in gerrit for master =
and will be pulled up for 1.6.x. Linux 3.10 is expected to be released =
before we could get 1.6.4 out, thus 1.6.3 should support it if possible. =
The changes are rather simple and thus ok to include at this point. =
Maybe even without another public prerelease.

=3D=3D=3D binaries for 1.6.3pre2? =3D=3D=3D

Stephen started building for RH Linux. Fedora and EL6 are done, EL5 is =
still missing. Derrick will provide an OS X installer. Stephan will =
upload what's available and announce them on -info, which may get us =
some more feedback.

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

Hard deadlines make little sense since we depend on volunteers for =
everything. We'll strive for tagging 1.6.3 within a few weeks.
