Hi, Upstream is about to release the first betas for FreeBSD 9.2. It is possible we could benefit from packaging the betas (at least for the kernel) and putting them in experimental, helping us find bugs early so that upstream can include fixes in their final release.
In this regard, bugs that might force us to change kernel ABI are specially terrifiing as we've been hit by this in the past (worst-case, it could break chroots hosted on FreeBSD and render kfreebsd-downloader-9.2 useless). However, as we're currently in the middle of FreeBSD 9.1 transition, this could be a bit disruptive for 9.1 testing. Some ideas on what could be done: - Fast-track 9.1 by uploading it immediately to unstable, then upload 9.2 (at least kernel) to experimental. - Skip 9.1 completely and upload 9.2 to experimental right away while leaving 9.0 in unstable. - Don't bother with early adoption of 9.2. Finish the 9.1 transition smoothly by keeping it in experimental for a reasonable period, then uploading to unstable and waiting for jessie migration. Once it's done, then put 9.2 in experimental (which will most likely be the final 9.2-RELEASE by that time). So what to do?
