[Gluster-devel] Release 5: GA and what are we waiting on

[Shyam Ranganathan]

So we are through with a series of checks and tasks on release-5 (like
ensuring all backports to other branches are present in 5, upgrade
testing, basic performance testing, Package testing, etc.), but still
need the following resolved else we stand to delay the release GA
tagging, which I hope to get done over the weekend or by Monday 15th
morning (EDT).

1) Fix for libgfapi-python related blocker on Gluster:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1630804

@ppai, who needs to look into this?

2) Release notes for options added to the code (see:
https://lists.gluster.org/pipermail/gluster-devel/2018-October/055563.html )

@du, @krutika can we get some text for the options referred in the mail
above?

3) Python3 testing
- Heard back from Kotresh on geo-rep passing and saw that we have
handled cliutils issues
- Anything more to cover? (@aravinda, @kotresh, @ppai?)
- We are attempting to get a regression run on a Python3 platform, but
that maybe a little ways away from the release (see:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1638030 )

Request attention to the above, to ensure we are not breaking things
with the release.

Thanks,
Shyam
