I wouldn't assume that at this point. You just provided them what, a |
| 10 |
couple days ago, right? |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
On bug reports and the like, two weeks before a response isn't unusual. |
| 13 |
You have a couple preliminary responses here already. I'd not even |
| 14 |
/start/ to get antsy for two weeks, and wouldn't consider a "bump" request |
| 15 |
for another week after that, anyway. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
Also note that trunk is frozen. Bug fixes only until 2.1 is split off to |
| 18 |
stabilize. I'd not expect the patches to get in until trunk thaws again, |
| 19 |
for 2.2 or whatever. That means there's no immediate hurry on dealing |
| 20 |
with the patches, and that most of the focus ATM is on bugfixes for 2.1, |
| 21 |
in ordered to get the -rcs out and then the release, and get it tested and |
| 22 |
fully stabilized for 2006.1, now set for July, which given a 30 day |
| 23 |
stabilization means we need to get thru the -rcs and to release preferably |
| 24 |
by June first or so. I do /not/ expect your patches to get into 2.1. You |
| 25 |
are at least a week to 10 days too late for that. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
The /good/ news is they are hoping to speed up the release process after |
| 28 |
2.1 goes stable. I saw a two-month target between versions discussed, but |
| 29 |
there was discussion of whether that would be practical, more like 90 day. |
| 30 |
In any case, if they keep to the idea, and assuming your patches /are/ |
| 31 |
taken (as a user and mostly lurker, I have no say on it), they could |
| 32 |
easily hit 2.2 and be stable by the end of the year if not late Q3 or |
| 33 |
early Q4. |
