- nov 14th
- Releases
- 5.7.1 (should be out)
- what's next?
- Nothing immediate; think of 5.5.x and 5.6.x after December
- Administrative
- Git
- git describe produces strange results
- ie, on 5.5 it shows a tag of v5.4
- hardaker suspects this is because the 5.4 branch is merged into 5.5, and the v5.4 tag was released more recently than any 5.5 tags
- ie, on 5.5 it shows a tag of v5.4
- ChangeLog generation
- hardaker notes that the current ChangeLog generation done by git2cl may not be accurate and would like to consider alternatives
- Discussion:
- what are the goals of the changelog?
- A detailed indication of what has happened to a particular development line
- Raw material for CHANGES/NEWS files
- how useful/used/important do we with think the file is?
- probably not essential
- One of the better documentation introductions!
- users rely on a change log to take upgrade decisions. So I think that a good change log / release notes are really important.
- as long as we meet #1 in some way, is another choice ok?
- Sure
- what are the goals of the changelog?
- git describe produces strange results
- autoconf
- rehashing of previous discussion surrounding use of latest autoconf on all branches
- tanders brings up a point of older distros not being able to update to a later release on a patch tree
- some distros might force-run autoreconf?
- some distros might patch configure but don't have the latest autoconf available and thus if we use later features they're stuck.
- 6.0
