3.8 Plan changes - proposal

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi All,

We discussed the following proposal for 3.8 in the maintainers mailing list and there was general consensus about the changes being a step in the right direction. Would like to hear your thoughts about the same.

Changes to 3.8 Plan:
--------------------

1. Include 4.0 features such as NSR, dht2, glusterd2.0 & eventing as experimental features in 3.8. 4.0 features are shaping up reasonably well and it would be nice to have them packaged in 3.8 so that we can get more meaningful feedback early on. As 4.0 features mature, we can push them out through subsequent 3.8.x releases to derive iterative feedback.

2. Ensure that most of our components have tests in distaf by 3.8. I would like us to have more deterministic pre-release testing for 3.8 and having tests in distaf should help us in accomplishing that goal.

3. Add "forward compatibility" section to all feature pages proposed for 3.8 so that we carefully review the impact of a feature on all upcoming Gluster.next features.

4. Have Niels de Vos as the maintainer for 3.8 with immediate effect. This is a change from the past where we have had release maintainers after a .0 release is in place. I think Niels' diligence as a release manager will help us in having a more polished .0 release.

5. Move out 3.8 by 2-3 months (end of May or early June 2016) to accomplish these changes.

Appreciate your feedback about this proposal!

Thanks,
Vijay
