The first week of next cycle falls into the company's engineering sprint. This means everybody will be busy with other things and kernel preparations will effectively not start before the week after. However we keep the start date for the cycle and just extend it by a week. The same applies for the security cycle which starts in parallel with the SRU cycle (will be 3 weeks instead of 2). The cut-off date for standard SRU changes will remain the 23rd of October. HOWEVER! Since the next cycle would start on Dec-02 and with the end of year and the related holidays there is not enough time to fit a proper SRU cycle. So there will only be a security cycle and we will use the time to clean out the queues and work on processes and tooling which otherwise hardly get done. This means Oct-23 is the cut-off for any standard SRU! > cycle: 28-Oct through 01-Dec (5 weeks) > ==================================================================== > 23-Oct Last day for kernel commits for this cycle. + 28-Oct - 08-Nov Kernel prep week(s). + 11-Nov - 29-Nov Bug verification & Regression testing. + Week of 02-Dec Release to -updates. > > [1] Planned as a 4w cycle but might extend depending on availability > of test infrastructure. > [2] Tentative versions, might change due to re-spins > This first cycle next year will likely start Jan-13 when everyone is back. -- - Stefan -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
