=3D=3D 1.6.12 release =3D=3D

Linux 4.1 is due in ~4 weeks, and Marc's patch to resolve the recent =
GPLONLY issue made 4.1-rc3 (commit de71ad2). We should issue 1.6.12pre2 =
soon. Help is needed reviewing the open changes foreseen for 1.6.12 =
before this can be done:

=3D=3D=3D Linux =3D=3D=3D

The linux 4.1 changes in =
http://gerrit.openafs.org/#q,status:open+project:openafs+branch:master+top=
ic:linux-4.1,n,z are likely to be final but need review before they can =
be merged and pulled up.

Marc updated the mmap recursion fix (http://gerrit.openafs.org/11124). =
This too needs review so it can be merged and pulled up.

11863 removes the obstacle to merging 11842, but the whole stack =
http://gerrit.openafs.org/#q,status:open+project:openafs+branch:openafs-st=
able-1_6_x+topic:yosemite-compilation-cherrypicking,n,z still requires =
review before it can be merged.

=3D=3D 1.8 release =3D=3D

Progress was made on softsig (6947), but it's not yet quite final [a new =
patchset was pushed by Ben shortly after the meeting]. It will also need =
something like 11865 (stop abusing SIGFPE in bosserver). Jeffrey would =
prefer a single step procedure, as before, rather than requesting the =
admin to take two steps (touch a file on the server, then issue the bos =
command) to place bosserver into unrestricted mode. [Is this worth the =
effort?]
