As it stands, 2.6.37 should be released approximately mid-January, based on us being at 2.6.36-rc3 now and the usually week and a bit between -rc (and usually releasing at approximately -rc8.) Christmas and LCA if Linus goes might be a bit of a delay there, but I'd gather we'll be at 2.6.37 pre-F15-branch. It's usually a two week merge window for -rc1, and then the usual cycle, of roughly 80 days total before the next kernel release. > Start End Name > Wed 19-Jan Wed 19-Jan Submit Installer Builds for QA Compose > Tue 25-Jan Tue 25-Jan Feature Submission Deadline > Wed 26-Jan Wed 26-Jan Submit Installer Builds for QA Compose > Sat 29-Jan Mon 31-Jan Fudcon Fedora 15--Tempe, Arizona > Wed 02-Feb Wed 02-Feb Submit Installer Builds for QA Compose > Tue 08-Feb Tue 08-Feb Branch Fedora 15 from Rawhide ~ 2.6.37 release date. > Tue 08-Feb Tue 08-Feb Orphan Rawhide Packages > Tue 08-Feb Tue 08-Feb Feature Freeze (Testable|Complete) > Tue 08-Feb Tue 08-Feb Spins Freeze--All Fedora 15 Spins Identified > Tue 15-Feb Tue 15-Feb Alpha Change Deadline > Tue 15-Feb Tue 15-Feb Software String Freeze > Wed 16-Feb Wed 16-Feb Submit Installer Builds for Alpha RC Compose > Tue 01-Mar Tue 01-Mar Alpha Public Availability > Fri 04-Mar Fri 04-Mar Build F-15 collection packages for all language > translators > Mon 14-Mar Mon 14-Mar Submit Installer Builds for Beta TC Compose > Tue 15-Mar Tue 15-Mar Software: Start Rebuild all translated packages > Tue 15-Mar Tue 22-Mar Software: Rebuild all translated packages > Tue 22-Mar Tue 22-Mar Beta Change Deadline ~ 2.6.38-rc[7-8] > Tue 22-Mar Tue 22-Mar Features 100% Complete Deadline > Wed 23-Mar Wed 23-Mar Submit Installer Builds for Beta RC Compose > Tue 05-Apr Tue 05-Apr Beta Release Public Availability ~ 2.6.38 release. > Fri 15-Apr Fri 15-Apr Submit Installer Builds for Final TC Compose > Mon 25-Apr Mon 25-Apr Final Change Deadline > Mon 25-Apr Mon 25-Apr Submit Installer Builds for Final RC Compose > Tue 10-May Tue 10-May Final (GA) Release > > What should we add for the kernel team so that important dates are known > and Fedora 15 can be well coordinated? > By mid-March we should be well on our way through the 2.6.38 cycle, I think we'll probably stick on 2.6.37 for Alpha (depending on the exact release date) and immediately switch to 2.6.38-rc2 in F-15 afterwards, which should avoid us releasing an Alpha with a 'too raw' -rc1 kernel and still give us plenty of time to clean up issues with 2.6.38-rc[12]. Obviously, the earlier we branch the better, and having more people test the hell out of the kernel upstream the better. --Kyle _______________________________________________ kernel mailing list kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/kernel
