Re: [ovirt-devel] [RFC] reconsidering branching out ovirt-4.2

For alignment purposes between the projects we should consider branch ovirt-engine as well. At this point in time I'm for it, would like to hear any acks/nacks so we can decide how we proceeed On Mon, Jan 29, 2018 at 9:02 AM, Dan Kenigsberg <danken@redhat.com> wrote:

Hi all,
It is time again to reconsider branching out the 4.2 stable branch.
So far we decided to *not* branch out, and we are taking tags for ovirt 4.2 releases from master branch.
This means we are merging safe and/or stabilization patches only in master.
I think it is time to reconsider this decision and branch out for 4.2, because of two reasons:
1. it sends a clearer signal that 4.2 is going in stabilization mode
2. we have requests from virt team, which wants to start working on the next cycle features.
If we decide to branch out, I'd start the new branch on monday, February 5 (1 week from now).
The discussion is open, please share your acks/nacks for branching out, and for the branching date.
I for myself I'm inclined to branch out, so if noone chimes in (!!) I'll execute the above plan.
For network we don't see a lot of pending 4.2 work - except for the requirement to support el7.5. On the other hand, we too have already a patch for 4.3. Thus I'm fine with branching next week.
When you do branch, please make sure to follow Barak Korren's request on the [ovirt-devel] [ACTION-REQUIRED] Making accurate CI for oVirt 4.2 thread. _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/devel

Please add the 4.2 jobs in YAML _before_ you branch. There is no harm in that, and it will ensure you get CI working as soon as you branch. Other then that ACK from me. On 29 January 2018 at 12:14, Sandro Bonazzola <sbonazzo@redhat.com> wrote:
