Hi folks,
We think it's about time for another release of the R3.14 branch of
Base, which will be numbered 3.14.9. For this release I want to tag one
Pre-release version at feature-freeze, followed by as many weekly
Release Candidate versions as are needed to try and avoid the little
bugs that last time caused us to have to subsequently release versions
3.14.8.1 and 3.14.8.2.
Here's what I'm proposing:
1. All new features and architectures to be committed by 2006-11-20
(feature freeze).
2. Tag CVS with R3-14-9-pre1 at that time, and generate a tar file.
3. Encourage testing on as many architectures as possible, and accept
build and bug fixes to until 2006-12-01.
4. Tag CVS with R3-14-9-RC1, and generate a tar file for wide-scale testing.
5. If problems are found in this -RCn version, 7 days after the previous
-RCn was released (i.e. on 2006-12-08, 2006-12-15 etc.) tag the result
with the next -RCn value, generate another tar file, lather, rinse and
repeat.
6. If no problems are reported with an -RCn version in 7 days, tag and
release the latest R3-14-9-RCn version as R3.14.9.
Can I get a first reaction to this proposal and timescale from at least
the following key people, without whose co-operation the release will
not be possible:
Jeff Hill (Channel Access, Win32)
Ralph Lange (HP-UX)
Eric Norum (RTEMS, MacOS)
Janet Anderson (Build system, Win32)
Ernest Williams (vxWorks 6.x, Linux-x86_64)
If you are not named above and have ported EPICS to an architecture that
R3.14.8.2 does not support for which you are willing to donate patches
and perform testing, please feel free to include your comments on this
timescale.
Thanks,
- Andrew
