This is the meeting agenda/notes for the Meeting held on 2011-05-23.
Date and Time: 2011-05-23 19:00 UTC
Agenda
- Next Meeting
- June 20th
- Releases
- 5.3.4
- rc1 at the end of the week
- 5.4.4
- rc1 at the end of the week
- 5.7
- pre2 out todayish
- 5.3.4
- Administrative
- Switching to GIT
- Timing choices:
- switch now (ie, this week) for everything
- switch everything but the 5.{3,4}.4 branches this week, and apply patches from the svn tree later to the git tree after releases are finished.
- delay the switch till after 5.{3,4}.4 final (as long as it's before 5.7).
- Daves' preference and Wes is fine with it, so we'll go with this choice unless 5.{3,4}.4 drag out too long.
- Timing choices:
- Bisectability of the SVN/git tree.
- Agreed: We shouldn't push broken commits because it means git bisect breaks if you can't test the broken code in the middle of a bisect
- standardizing "please write to the list" notes? Possibly with a new wiki page with a longer explanation?
- Wes wrote one: Please write responses to the mailing lists
- feedback and editing appreciated
- start pointing to it?
- Wes wrote one: Please write responses to the mailing lists
- LTS Timing
- From last time: 5.4 and 5.7 will be LTS
- How long is Long?
- Dave's proposal: keep 2 LTS branches active, ensuring at least 5 years. Keep 3 branches otherwise
- Examples:
- 5.4L, 5.5, 5.6, 5.7L
- 5.4L, 5.6, 5.7L, 5.8
- 5.4L, 5.7L, 5.8, 5.9
- 5.7L, 5.8, 5.9, 5.10L
- Switching to GIT
- Technical
- the infamous oid typedef issues
- 5.6.1.1 still scheduled to go out
- Should we consider going to a 6.0, where we change all types to match (the biggest becoming all the u_longs used everywhere for ints).
- Wes notes that it may be possible to have a injectable handle that swaps types in the middle of a handler chain for legacy code
- general discussion tabled for future meetings about 6.0
- Windows Builds
- Dave hopefully has windows working? Needs wiki post about doing it.
