[GRASS-dev] [release planning] GRASS GIS 7.8.4

neteler · August 11, 2020, 5:50pm

Hi devs,

We have accumulated a series of important fixes, suggesting to
consider the next release at the end of the month.
There is a related 7.8.4 milestone in GH:

https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/milestone/2
--> Due by August 31, 2020 72% complete (15 open issues, 39 closed)

(along with the "classical" milestone in trac:
https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/milestone/7.8.4
)

Some of the yet open issues may be close to be completed, please take a look.

Best,
Markus

There is a long list of merged PRs which have backport needed label:
https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/pulls?page=2&q=is%3Apr+is%3Aclosed+label%3Abackport_needed

We never discussed this, but I assumed when somebody backports a commit, they would remove the label (of course it can happen you forget). I went through a couple of them and some of them were backported and some not. There is a long list, so I wonder if other devs can also review this and make sure everything is backported or remove the label if the plan is not to backport. Or did I misunderstand how to use the label?

I have cleaned it up.
Now there are like 7 or so remaining.

Yes, please.

(of course it can happen you forget). I went through a couple of them and some of them were backported and some not.

Or did I misunderstand how to use the label?

Indeed, it should be used like this:

- PR is submitted against master
- in case that it is relevant, the label "backport_needed" is set
- testing is done
- in case it is merged:
- either the PR submitters themselves backport (with git
cherry-picking that's very easy) and unset the label "backport_needed"
- or, if not possible, then the remaining label indicates that this
is still to be done.
- in any case: once backport was done, unset the label "backport_needed"

Does that make sense?

Hi devs,

Now, a month later, a new attempt

If not objections, let's go for RC1.

neteler · October 4, 2020, 9:20am

Hi devs,

I didn't see anything problematic after the RC1 release:
https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/releases/tag/7.8.4RC1

Two PRs are still open:
https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/milestone/2
- Broken vector topology crashes wxGUI GUI backport_needed bug
- g.extension: download from gitlab repositories does not work bug

but I'd suggest moving them to the next release.

If not objections, I'd release 7.8.4 tonight.

Markus

The following translation files have removals in 7.8.4, is that
intentional? It looks like a regression.

I used the usual update script.
Perhaps they got removed in transited?

As suspected, they were missing from Transifex. No idea how that's possible.

I have copy-pasted them back, manually (yes, a pain).
