Hi!

I will start work on setting up the builders for 3.17 release this
week. This means that significant changes to the toolchain and
bootstrap packages (eg make, binutils, gcc, bison, autoconf, automake,
cmake etc) needs to happen within a few days or they will have to be
postponed to after 3.17 release.

We can also expect a more general feature freeze in aports/main from
next week (17 October) and a feature freeze in aports/community wekk
after that (24 October).

Those are approximate dates and as usual, we do exceptions on case by
case basis after that.

The 3.17 release is planned for in early November, but depends a but on
what shows up during the 3.17 build.

Thanks!
