Hi All,
Just now we were discussing that fedora kexec-tools should rebase to
upstream kexec-tools every release so that we can test the latest code
sooner.
Then Dave Young pulled in some data about the kexec-tools release
duration.
Date: Tue Mar 19 10:46:46 2013 +0900
kexec-tools 2.0.4 ~100 commits
Date: Mon Jan 16 09:15:25 2012 +1100
kexec-tools 2.0.3 ~100 commits
Date: Thu Jul 29 13:40:00 2010 +0900
kexec-tools 2.0.2 ~80 commits
Date: Thu Aug 13 09:28:08 2009 +1000
kexec-tools 2.0.1 ~60 commits
Date: Sat Jul 19 10:31:30 2008 +1000
kexec-tools 2.0.0
So that is 5 release in 5.5 years. It is roughly 1 release per year.
I am wondering if there is any interest in more frequent releases of
kexec-tools. Say every 3 months or every 6 months.
IMHO, it might be better if there are more frequent release of kexec-tools
(say a release every 6 months) and then every 6 months distributions
should be able to rebase to that new release.
Thoughts?
Thanks
Vivek

Agreed. Sometimes, important changes in the kernel side will lead to the change in the kexec-tools, so especially in this case, I think it might be better to release a new version asap. > > Thanks > Vivek > > _______________________________________________ > kexec mailing list > kexec@lists.infradead.org > http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/kexec > -- Thanks.

One example is recent support of kexec on EFI systems. These changes went into 3.13 kernel as well as kexec-tools. Simon what do you think? A kexec-tools release every 4 months or every 6 months. Does it make sense to you?

Kernel releases are roughly 3 months apart. So that would mean a kexec-tools release roughly around 6 months. This sounds like a good start. So 3.13 was release recently. And last kexec-tools release was in march 2013. May be it is a good idea to do one release now and then next one can be after release of kernel 3.15, 3.17 and so on.

It seems that a few bugs showed up in 2.0.5, fixes for which are now in the git repository. I am thinking it would be a good idea to release these as 2.0.6 unless people would rather that I held off. _______________________________________________ kexec mailing list kexec@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/kexec ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 20+ messages in thread

In future you might have to come up with a process where you merge only important fixes so that you can do a stable release. May be create a development branch 2-3 weeks before final release. Master branch slowly will get ready for release and will get only important fixes committed. Devel branch will have everything. And after release, devel will be rebased on top of master and merged or some other better process.

I think something like that should work quite well. _______________________________________________ kexec mailing list kexec@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/kexec ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 20+ messages in thread

I consider these are major bugs, which deserves a hot fix release as 2.0.6. What do you think?

Say every 3 months or every 6 months. Yes, that will be good. I maintain the kexec-tools package for Debian and I often find myself backporting fixes from git into Debian package as users find bugs that are already fixed in upstream. Being able to update the entire package to new release with all accumulated bugfixes periodically will be helpful. -- Khalid _______________________________________________ kexec mailing list kexec@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/kexec ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 20+ messages in thread

If we have more frequent releases of kexec-tools, then distributions can easily rebase to newer releases more frequently and that will reduce the overhead of cherry-picking and backporting fixes. Also it allows distribution users to test new features sooner. For example, kexec support on EFI systems. In worst case, a distribution user will have to wait for an year or more before a release happens and user can test this feature. And this is true for any feature which is introduced in kexec-tools.
