[Release Planning 3.5] Samba 3.5.0pre1 on October 29?

[Karolin Seeger-2]

Hey folks,

we are running a bit behind the 3.5 schedule, so we should ship 3.5.0 pre1
as soon as possible. What do think about October 29? Are there any
objections?

Thanks!

Cheers,
Karolin

By the way, if you have any suggestions for the release notes, please feel
free to add them or send it to me!

Thanks!

Yes, sorry. I have to fix the code in the 3.5.x tree that does
the "create time" store to match Metze's request before we ship
any pre-release. Once code ships that supports this we'll have
to maintain the on disk format going forward. I'd like to have
a little more time to fix this to store it inside the
existing DOS.attrib, I'd say target mid November. If I can
get it done before then I'll let you know asap, and I'll
make it a priority for my coding work, but currently I'm
doing 3.3.9 and 3.4.3 bugfix and testing, and that will eat up much
of my time before the 3.4.2 release date on October 22nd.

I'd really like to get this feature in for 3.5.0, but if I realize
it's going to take any longer than this to get right I'll
remove the code so we can ship.

Jeremy.

FYI. I'm not saying this work is *going* to take
that long, I'm just worried it might :-).

I'll try and get this fixed asap...

shipping the first pre release in November means 3.5.0 will be available
in February/March. (December would not work anyway this time, mainly due
to the talloc issues).

Does that work for all of you?

Cheers,
Karolin

I am wondering when we can ship the first 3.5.0 preview tarball.

Do you still estimate mid November for your "create time" store?
Would November 26 be a realistic release date for pre1?

Thanks!

Karolin

Yes, I'll try and get this fix done and included by the
end of next week (20th).

Thanks,

have you finished the create time stuff?
Would you like to provide some information on your 3.5 changes for the
release notes, please?

Thanks!
