<br>
So we have had master locked down for a week to ensure we only get fixes<br>
for failing tests in order to stabilize the code base, partly for<br>
release-5 branching as well.<br>
<br>
As of this weekend, we (Atin and myself) have been looking at the<br>
pass/fail rates on the tests, and whether we are discovering newer<br>
failures of more of the same.<br>
<br>
Our runs with patch sets 10->11->12 is looking better than where we<br>
started, and we have a list of tests that we need to still fix.<br>
<br>
But there are other issues and fixes that are needed in the code that<br>
are lagging behind due to the lock down. The plan going forward is as<br>
follows,<br>
<br>
- Unlock master, and ensure that we do not start seeing newer failures<br>
as we merge other patches in, if so raise them on the lists and as bugs<br>
and let's work towards ensuring these are addressed. *Maintainers*<br>
please pay special attention when merging patches.<br>
<br>
- Address the current pending set of tests that have been identified as<br>
failing, over the course of the next 2 weeks. *Contributors* continue<br>
the focus here, so that we do not have to end up with another drive<br>
towards the same in 2 weeks.<br>
<br>
- At the end of 2 weeks, reassess master and nightly test status, and<br>
see if we need another drive towards stabilizing master by locking down<br>
the same and focusing only on test and code stability around the same.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>When will there be a discussion about coming up with guidelines to prevent lock down in future?</div><div><br></div><div>I think it is better to lock-down specific components by removing commit access for the respective owners for those components when a test in a particular component starts to fail.<br></div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
