The process to do so has been documented here: - http://www.gluster.org/community/documentation/index.php/Backport_Guidelines When the branching happened, the 3.6 release will be closed for new feature enhancements. The goal is to stabilize the branch and not introduce any complex/major changes anymore. Vijay will likely mention this in his announcement of the release-3.6 branch too. There can be a thin line between 'usability bug' and 'feature'. If an acceptable case is made for an improvement, I doubt it will have difficulties getting included in any of the stable branches. <snip> > > And I would really like to get http://review.gluster.org/8292, > > IPv6 support.

No, and unfortunately I will unlikely be able to look into that within the next few weeks. I'd really like to see good IPv6 support in Gluster, but for me it really is a long-term goal. Maybe the 'better peer identification' feature improves IPv6 support as well. Some details and further pointers to discussions about it can be found here: - http://www.gluster.org/community/documentation/index.php/Features/Better_peer_identification Niels _______________________________________________ Gluster-devel mailing list Gluster-devel@xxxxxxxxxxx http://supercolony.gluster.org/mailman/listinfo/gluster-devel
