Yocto Project 1.2.1 release plan.

Yocto Project 1.2.1 release plan.

[Scott Garman]

Hi all,

I'm going to be the maintainer of the Yocto Project 1.2.1 release, and 
wanted to let everyone know some details about the current status of 
this release.

Richard has already started pulling in some patches from master into the 
denzil-next branch on oe-core:

http://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/log/?h=denzil-next

I'll be merging these on an ongoing basis into my sgarman/denzil-next 
branch in the poky-contrib repo:

http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky-contrib/log/?h=sgarman/denzil-next

The primary focus for getting patches into 1.2.1 is bugfixing, security 
updates, and making sure the recently released Ubuntu, Fedora, and 
OpenSUSE distros work with this release. All other kinds of patches 
(e.g, performance) will have a very high bar to reach for them to be 
accepted (i.e, it will have to be very clear they pose little risk to 
introducing more bugs or stability issues). And of course anything that 
breaks APIs or compatibility is off the table.

It would help me out greatly if in your pull requests you could mention 
when you want your commit to also be included in 1.2.1.

Our intention is currently to include bugfixes for these bugs in the 
eventual release of 1.2.1:

https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/buglist.cgi?query_format=advanced&list_id=4572&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ACCEPTED&bug_status=REOPENED&bug_status=NEEDINFO&bug_status=WaitForUpstream&bug_status=RESOLVED&bug_status=VERIFIED&bug_status=CLOSED&target_milestone=1.2.1

This list is not set in stone and may change at any time. My very rough 
guesstimate is that we will start testing release candidates for 1.2.1 
in about 6-8 weeks.

Thanks, and I look forward to helping to ensure that 1.2.1 is a solid 
and well-tested release!

Sorry about this folks - my denzil-next branch was based on oe-core and 
not poky. So I've just deleted the branch and will be re-creating it 
shortly.

Just talking with RP about this on #yocto - there will be both oe-core 
and poky-based branches for denzil-next. Right now Richard's been 
maintaining the denzil-next branch on the oe-core git repo, so what I 
needed was a poky-based branch, not another oe-core one.

My apologies for inadvertently implying that there might be be an 
oe-core based denzil-next branch.
