Subject: Getting ready for the 2.39 branch/release
Date: Tue, 21 Jun 2022 12:09:19 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <7e2b1296-8038-84e6-ac04-69890ae71a6d@redhat.com> (raw)

Hi Guys,

   It is time to think about the next GNU Binutils release.

   Ideally I would like to make the release at the end of July
   which will be 6 months on from the 2.38 release.  Unfortunately
   I am on vacation for two weeks in the middle of July (11-22) so
   either:

   1. Someone else volunteers to make the 2.39 release.

   2. I create the branch early (eg Saturday June 25) but then
      release late (eg Saturday July 30) and the global maintainers
      get to approve patches for the branch.

      This does not give much time for people to get new features
      into the sources before the branch is cut...

   3. I create the branch in a couple of week's time (eg Fri Jul 8)
      and then release early in August (eg Sat Aug 6) and again I
      ask the global maintainers for help in approving patches for
      the branch.

   Thoughts ?

Cheers
   Nick
