[Qemu-devel] [RFC] Moving Hard Freeze to Monday, May 6th.

[Anthony Liguori]

The current release schedule has hard freeze happening tomorrow.  There
are a few things still outstanding including cpu hotplug and updating
SeaBIOS.  We still need to resolve how to handle the softfloat code
too.  I am particularly interested in this last one for the 1.5 release.

Given this, I'd like to delay the Hard Freeze until Monday and slip the
1.5 release by two days to the 17th to ensure we have enough -rcs..
Here would be the adjusted schedule:

| 2013-05-06
| Hard feature freeze  Tag v1.5.0-rc0, only bug fixes committed after this point
|-
| 2013-05-08
| Tag v1.5.0-rc1
|-
| 2013-05-15
| Tag v1.5.0-rc2
|-
| 2013-05-17
| Tag v1.5.0

Regards,

Anthony Liguori

Sparc's OpenBios also needs a refresh to handle longer command lines:

The plan is to hopefully spin out an OpenBIOS 1.1 release over this 
weekend in time for the 1.5 hard freeze (the version in git master is 
old as the 1.4 OpenBIOS images were reverted last minute due to a 
regression).


ATB,

Mark.

Fine by me, since I, er, forgot hardfreeze would be today :-)
