RE: [cdt-dev] Re: [cdt-debug-dev] CDT 1.2.0.50 success story for arm JTAG eCos

I agree that we might be more productive if we delayed creating the branch...

We have already had a discussion and a proposal on how to manage the content going into the stream in these last couple of weeks, which was as follows:

We talked about creating (and regularly posting) a list of defects that we would consider "gating" (i.e. serious enough to potentially delay the release). That list would consist of all defects with a severity of "blocking", "critical", or "major". If people agree that this is a reasonable criteria for what gets patched into the release going forward and what doesn't, then I could easily keep this list up to date and post it regularly as we head into the last couple of weeks. If there are defects that should be fixed but are not in the list, all it would take to get them there is to set the appropriate severity and target release fields.

At the moment, such a list currently contains 29 defects (1 blocking, 10 critical & 18 major) attached below.

So what do people think? Would seeing this list once every couple of days help focus attention on stabilizing the release?

I would only agree with creating the branch now if we felt that merging
fixes from the 1.2 branch to HEAD will be relatively painless.  I get the
feeling there will still be a good chunk of churn leading up to "code
freeze" at the end of Sept and would prefer we get to that point before
branching.

I'd suggest we cut the branch for 1.2 ASAP (e.g. Monday) to allow us
to ship 1.2 on schedule. You are absolutely correct that we need to
stabilize and focus on bugfixing over the next few weeks.

+1 on branching Monday.
