RC today or Monday or something ?

[Ian Jackson]

Russ mentioned that he was expecting us to have a test day next week.
Is that still on; do you want to cut an RC soon ?  If you let me know
ASAP we can still do that today, I think.

Ian.

Yes or we can do it on Monday. I will be on IRC around 10am EST today - hopefully not too late for you.

Konrad, last we chatted on IRC, you indicated a desire to delay Test Day to the 13th, which is what I currently have posted in the Wiki. If you want to stay with the earlier date of the 12th, please let me know so I can adjust the Wiki and events calendar accordingly.  I will also send out an announcement email as soon as you verify the date.

Thanks.

Frankly, tagging an -RC2 before OSStest moves staging into master would
leave almost no delta between RC1 and RC2, and leave all of the pygrub
bugs still open.

My XenServer testing of all of this is currently on c/s 5c8dd034 (the
change to the MAINTAINERs file for hvmloader) and looking fine.

I would suggest waiting, (or force pushing, but I suspect that will be
objected-to).

Good point!

Thank you for keeping the tests warm..

Let's wait as I believe the issues that are making osstest choke are the swiotlb related - and Ian has them queued up for the next run I believe?

Hopefully by Monday it will clear up and master = staging.

It is no problem at all.  At the moment, it is literally just a git pull
and wait several hours for basic automatic testing to get back to me and
say "everything still fine".

I suppose it is worth stating that there are no outstanding patches for
bugs I am aware of.  All the bugs we have discovered have their fixes in
staging.

Very possibly.  Certainly I think there's a reasonable chance.
