Re: [wtp-releng] Ready for 3.0.2 stream?

[David M Williams <david_williams@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Sure. Technically, doesn't need to be
by 3 PM ... just before anything new is committed. And, remember, as 3.0.2
starts, all commits should still have an explicit Project Lead review and
approval (or their delegate). In otherwords ... it's not "open season"
... should be nice and orderly. 

 If its not possible to tag before
then, or if anyone misses the "deadline", you can always load
projects from the map files, with what ever maps were used in 3.0.1 final
build, and then tag it with your common tag. 

And .... remember how to get the map
files associated with a particular build? No need to use that klutzy 'directory.txt'
file ... we tag our map files so you can always take the "main"
part of the build name, such as R20080818032401 for our 3.0.1 candidate
... and add a 'v', so the maps used in that build are tagged with vR20080818032401
so you can get just the map files you are interested in (and then select
a map file, and say "load from map files" to get those particular
projects loaded up).

David,

      So, what you are saying here is that all of the components
should tag
their R3_0_maintenance contents with R3_0_1 by 3 pm EDT today?  (If
I
recall correctly, it is now the duty of each component to tag the contents
of their plugins... and that is something that should be done before 3.0.2
work begins.)

FWIW,

Some developers have asked me (well, ok, just one so far, but suspect
others would take advantage of it ... )
if they can start checking in 3.0.2 fixes into the R3_0_maintenance
branch ... and maybe even start the 3.0.2 M builds.

Normally, I'd say no, let's be cautious in case we have to re-spin
3.0.1. But, I think we've tested the breath out of 3.0.1 and a new stop
ship bug is very unlikely at this point. Plus, since we delayed 3.0.1,
we cut into the 3.0.2 cycle, so this would help to minimize the impact
of that reduced time .. giving a couple of days back to it.

So, if there's no objections by, say, 3 PM this Wednesday afternoon
(Eastern time) let's say 3.0.2 is open for business at that time.

In theory, after that point, we could still re-spin a 3.0.1 if required,
but since we don't often branch a previous version, it'd be a bit
riskier to do cleanly. Let me know if anyone thinks this too aggressive
or risky, but if no objection by 3 PM (Eastern) let's say it's ok for
those developers who are are going on vacation :) to commit and release
their 3.0.2 fixes.

If I have time, I may try to get the 3.0.2 builds started, but we won't
have any formal smoke test of 3.0.2 this week ... AND I do encourage
everyone to finish their 3.0.1 testing and verification of closed bugs
(especially those that were blocking or critical) by Thursday's status
meeting -- that still has top priority and this early 3.0.2 work is
definitely special case.

Thanks,
