Hi all, Since there seems to be a bit of a debate on the acceptance of late patches in the beta cycle, we should probably have a vote --- Do you think that a patch which *seems* like a trivial fix and has been accepted into SVN HEAD should be backported/merged into the current 'about to be released' beta/release?
Yes [ ] No [ ] Undecided [ x ] --- Personally I can see benefits from both sides: - As I have to go through the entire release process to get the next release out of the door, does it matter if a new bit of code is added? - On the other hand, we shouldn't add anything late as it encourages late cycle changes (which leads to more chances for bugs to creep in and also to less testing of the release code) I'll make my decision as to whether to allow this particular patch in based on the vote - I'm personally -0 at the moment (I don't think anything should be changed with code/docs for 1.7.1), but if people can present a compelling argument then I may be swayed to accept this patch (which I guess will mean a further beta release and another testing period) (PS sorry about being slow getting 1.7.1 out, I'm in the process of moving to Europe so I'm finding free time difficult to come by right now) Thanks, Kev --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
