The Ubuntu feature-freeze date tends to be around mid-February/August, but freeze exceptions are allowed. So having rc1 roughly around FF would be fine. Then the actual .0 release a few weeks later is not a problem, and there would still be time to squeeze in a bugfix release or two before the distro release late April/October. -- t _______________________________________________ mesa-dev mailing list mesa-dev@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/mesa-dev
