All,
Since LTS introduces a new release stream, I would like to propose that we cut
the first LTS quickly to verify that various aspects of the release cycle and
version number dependent components will work properly with the new release
naming scheme. It will also allow us to flesh out distribution issues such as
download locations (e.g. for system VMs) and publishing LTS documentation
alongside regular releases. My thinking is that we would push an RC for this
release within a week of the 4.9.0.0 release. If this additional release is
acceptable, I will update the release calendar to reflect the following changes:
* LTS 4.9.0.0_1.0
* Development/Testing: 1 week after 4.9.0.0 release
* RC Voting: 2 weeks after 4.9.0.0 release
* LTS 4.9.0.0_2.0
* Development/Testing: From 3 to 9 weeks of the 4.9.0.0 release
* RC Voting: 10th week after the 4.9.0 release
I apologize for the relative dates — we are still waiting for 4.9.0.0 to
complete voting.
Thanks,
-John
