Yocto Project 1.2.1 release plan.

Hi all,

I'm going to be the maintainer of the Yocto Project 1.2.1 release, and wanted to let everyone know some details about the current status of this release.

Richard has already started pulling in some patches from master into the denzil-next branch on oe-core:

http://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/log/?h=denzil-next

I'll be merging these on an ongoing basis into my sgarman/denzil-next branch in the poky-contrib repo:

http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky-contrib/log/?h=sgarman/denzil-next

The primary focus for getting patches into 1.2.1 is bugfixing, security updates, and making sure the recently released Ubuntu, Fedora, and OpenSUSE distros work with this release. All other kinds of patches (e.g, performance) will have a very high bar to reach for them to be accepted (i.e, it will have to be very clear they pose little risk to introducing more bugs or stability issues). And of course anything that breaks APIs or compatibility is off the table.

It would help me out greatly if in your pull requests you could mention when you want your commit to also be included in 1.2.1.

Our intention is currently to include bugfixes for these bugs in the eventual release of 1.2.1:

https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/buglist.cgi?query_format=advanced&list_id=4572&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ACCEPTED&bug_status=REOPENED&bug_status=NEEDINFO&bug_status=WaitForUpstream&bug_status=RESOLVED&bug_status=VERIFIED&bug_status=CLOSED&target_milestone=1.2.1

This list is not set in stone and may change at any time. My very rough guesstimate is that we will start testing release candidates for 1.2.1 in about 6-8 weeks.

Thanks, and I look forward to helping to ensure that 1.2.1 is a solid and well-tested release!

Sorry about this folks - my denzil-next branch was based on oe-core and not poky. So I've just deleted the branch and will be re-creating it shortly.

Just talking with RP about this on #yocto - there will be both oe-core and poky-based branches for denzil-next. Right now Richard's been maintaining the denzil-next branch on the oe-core git repo, so what I needed was a poky-based branch, not another oe-core one.

My apologies for inadvertently implying that there might be be an oe-core based denzil-next branch.
