The 11.3.0 cycle is coming to a close. Hopefully without distracting<br>
too much from it, I wanted to circulate some brief notes on what<br>
follows.<br>
<br>
The steering goals for 11.3.0 have been to have a good quality release<br>
for deployments using XO-1 and XO-1.5, and a known-stable stack to<br>
serve as scaffolding to the XO-1.75 efforts. We haven't finished<br>
11.3.0 yet but I think there is ample evidence that it is working.<br>
<br>
On the XO-1.75 front, we are clearly a little further from finished --<br>
our release candidates for XO-1.75 aren't really. But that's natural<br>
with software changes riding on top of hardware changes.<br>
<br>
So our plan is to release 11.3.0 as planned; and open a second<br>
deep-freeze bugfix window that will lead to 11.3.1 . During this<br>
period we will accept<br>
<br>
- XO-1.75 platform improvements -- namely drivers and kernel fixes.<br>
<br>
- High importance regression bugs elsewhere in the stack, only after<br>
careful triaging. After the 11.3.0 cycle, we don't expect any here.<br>
<br>
The timeframe for this bugfix window is still unclear.<br><br></blockquote><div><br>Query:<br><br>Some of the 11.2.0 targeted languages (presumably the same in 11.3.0) are still a good way from completion. I would like to know if I should press for L10n of those specifically, as there is a reasonable chance we could pick up some coverage if the L10n whip is wielded judiciously.<br>
<br>L10n commits will need to be checked for build-breakers (printf and terminal newlines are the common culprits), but otherwise is not generally going to introduce unexpected issues.<br><br>cjl<br><br>[1]<br><a href="http://lists.laptop.org/pipermail/devel/2011-February/031016.html">http://lists.laptop.org/pipermail/devel/2011-February/031016.html</a><br>
