Hi,
It's getting to be about the time to start thinking about the 0.11.0
release. 0.10.0 was released on March 2nd so following with the 6 month
release cycle, that would put 0.11.0 at September 2nd.
Based on the experiences with the stable releases, here's what I'd
recommend:
o On July 15th, fork master -> stable-0.11
o Change version to 0.10.90
o Release qemu-0.11.0-rc1
o Release additional -rcN releases every 1-2 weeks
o Introduce a new maintainer for stable-0.10 (via git pulls)
o At least 1 week before release, hopefully we'll have the final -rcN that
we can then declare 0.11.0.
Sounds OK. I think OpenBIOS releases should follow similar schedule,
maybe even with matching SVN tags (1.1-rc1 for 0.11.0-rc1 etc).
I think we should really try hard to make these dates. I only have a few
things that I would like to see happen before forking stable-0.11. Namely:
o Setup qemu.org infrastructure (git hosting, wiki)
o Setup qemu bug tracker (see next mail)
o Include all ROM source code in tree via git submodules. This is a major
headache for distributors and I think it's important to resolve before our
next release.
I think this is great, but OpenBIOS still uses Subversion. Can git use
SVN submodules for example?
