Our typical schedule would be to try to create the corrective release ("re-spin") in about a month from now. Given that... - So far, there is only been one fix pushed to the branch since the release; and - that a month from now is mid-Aug, which is holiday time for many; ... I purpose we don't do anything until end of Aug... Depending on when we'd like to have GDB 9 come out, we might even want to skip 8.3.1 entirely? Personally, I don't mind spending the couple of hours it takes to create a new release, even if it's for a couple of patches. But perhaps there'll be more by then too. Now, switching our attention to GDB 9, looking at the GDB/NEWS file, there isn't anything super major, but the list is a good size already, so I think we can start the process anytime that makes sense for us. For instance, what if we started the stabilization process early September, with a few to branch sometime around early to mid September. With that plan, we can hopefully have branching by the GNU Cauldron, and a release within a month of that, which places the release around early to mid Oct. That's roughly 5 months after the 8.3 release. Thoughts? -- Joel
