Subject: [alpine-devel] Feature freeze for v2.5

From: Natanael Copa <[email-masked]>
Date: Tue, 23 Oct 2012 15:56:25 +0200

Hi,

The build servers for alpine v2.5 is now up and running.

It means in practice that we now are in a feature freeze for v2.5 and
everyone should focus on testing and fixing broken things rather than
add more functionllity (and new bugs).

The first release candidate will be out as soon as all build issues are
fixed and build servers are done building.

Thanks!

For 2.5,

gpsd (3.7-r0)  can be moved from  testing to main.

linux-virt-grsec works fine. I'm using it in my Xen and KVM VPS since
several months.

For me it can be moved to main.

I would suggest a issue of list of all packages not changed since last 
version, prior to new release.
The idea is to check if the primary un-updated package may likely break by its 
updated dependencies or in anyway otherwise.
It would also help in sorting out ones that have newer versions available.

Not bad idea.

The list too big. The number of APKBUILDs that *has changed since v2.4
is 736.

Testing is not included at all.

> > It would also help in sorting out ones that have newer versions

If this list is released say 2 or 3 weeks prior to freeze, sorting and listing 
out ones that have newer versions available can be done, alongwith reasons for 
skipping updation. This would help is finalizing atleast some packages 
hopefully.

> The list too big. The number of APKBUILDs that *has changed since v2.4

The work toll can be reduced by excluding lib* (172)  individually, because 
most primary package would also require latest associated lib.

Current aports/main (1512)
So current stat for change is approx 50% between v2.4 and v2.5

> Testing is not included at all.

I would not suggest 'edge/testing' as full list to be considered for this 
comparision. 
Individual testing/reporting and gradually moving to main suits best.

> The exact list of 780 APKBUILDs that has not changed since v2.4.0:

Some discrepancies I could spot easily by just comparing the lists (v2.4 and 
edge/main)
1. udisks 2.0 is available - its depends (dbus) updated far ahead
2. util-linux-v2.22.1 - important package, that should be updated

Other packages may skip updation depending on importance or constrains.
I also noticed packages that were build more than a year back, which means it 
has likely not changed 2 major releases.

Not in x86 - only x86_64 (may not be an issue)
1. libunwind
2. rxmtp
3. xf86-video-geode
