Questions about today's freeze (from Niklas,
Roan, & me in IRC):
on what -- all of trunk? core? wmf extensions?
Definitely core. Probably should apply to wmf-deployed extensions
too. I think non-deployed extensions can continue doing what they're
doing.
So does that mean you have to stop adding
features when Friday starts,
or ends? i.e. is Friday the first day of the frozen state, or the last
day of the non-frozen state?
Let's give until midnight UTC, end of Friday.
Are we enforcing this in any way within SVN, or
are we just agreeing to
quickly revert any new features or refactoring commits that come in
between now and [date]?
No changes to access -- there's still legit reasons to commit things such
as followups, regression fixes and the like.
Remember everybody: we're calling this a "slush" and not an actual
"freeze." The idea is to at least try and get trunk feature-complete so we
can make the push in CR.
And it's now midnight UTC, pencils down everybody. If you were
looking to break trunk with a huge refactor...well, you missed the
deadline ;-)
