[GRASS-dev] Planning GRASS GIS 6.4.5 release

neteler · March 5, 2015, 10:17am

Hi devs,

we have accumulated some relevant fixes in the 6.4 release branch.
Time to publish a new minor release.
FYI: The last release happened before r60974 (25 June 2014)

Following our proposed
http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/wiki/RFC/4_ReleaseProcedure
the release procedure would be:

Step 1 - Proposal of release: Done.

Step 2 (day X) - Soft freeze of release branch: suggestion 20 March 2015

Step 3 (X+30 days) - Hard freeze & RC1:

[important at least for the winGRASS package]

... etc according to RFC4.

Coordination to be done here:
http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/wiki/Grass6Planning

Any objections?

Best,
Markus

Step 2 (day X) - Soft freeze of release branch: suggestion 20 March 2015

why not soft freeze since today? Are expecting some heavy changes in
this branch?

As there has not been that much recent development and thus, AFAIK, not that much to backport, maybe +30 is a bit too much in this case.

Just applying the flexibility I wrote about...

AFAIK the backport of the topology fixes.

I saw that you updated the G6 vector lib, did this include the planned
backports?
Just to understand for the planning.

Great, thanks.

Current state is at

Time to prepare a RC1? Anything still needs to be backported before RC1?

I checked a bit and didn't find any serious issues. The only issues I came across are already known [1, 2], and I'm not sure that we have the resources to spend time fixing them for grass6...

For the rest, everything seems to work fine here.

Where are we at with 6.4.5. Can we just release as is, possibly citing known bugs ?
