Обсуждение: CVS trees and post-6.4 release issues
We will not be splitting the CVS tree after the 6.4 release. We will continue with one source tree, applying patches needed for any 6.4.* minor releases. When we have finished with 6.4.* releases, we will mark the cvs tree, and start on 6.5. We mark it so we can supply patches to fix serious problems that appear after 6.4.* has been closed. Any risky feature patches that are posted during this period will be held, and applied once 6.4.* is finished. We expect the 6.4.* feature freeze period to last about one month. Certain _safe_ feature patches will be applied during this period. -- Bruce Momjian | http://www.op.net/~candle maillist@candle.pha.pa.us | (610) 853-3000+ If your life is a hard drive, | 830 Blythe Avenue + Christ can be your backup. | Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania19026

Actually, the 'splitting' and 'tagging' are one and the same, and it will be tagged the moment I roll the release tar ball...that is automatic *shrug* Its been done for every past release...if you don't use the branch, not a problem, but it is created... > We will continue with one source tree, applying patches needed for any > 6.4.* minor releases. > > When we have finished with 6.4.* releases, we will mark the cvs tree, > and start on 6.5.

I don't think so...I heard that one after the BETA freeze, and look at the mess *that* created. If there is a feature freeze for post-release bugs to be fixed, features are *frozen*, period, end of story, do not pass go, do not collect $200, end of story... Marc G.

The only feature item I think we considered adding was Jan's LIMIT. Do you want that?

If you can personally guarantee that it will in absolutely no way cause *any* problems with the system on any platform...go for it *grin* The feature freeze is meant to allow us to cover over any operating system related tweaks...adding in a new feature opens the door for new problems to creep in...
