I think we agreed in yesterday's meeting the build failure is blocking the branch. Whichever issues that we are finding (including fuzzy patches), it should hold off the branching. I really would like to see a successful build from master before a branch can be created. But the impact is to hold off the follow-on feature patches from merging to master.

Team - assuming her answer is "more than a day or two", do we want to hold the release branch creation that long? We're moving the release into day-for-day slip mode...
The tradeoff is how much work it would be to backport that after a branch, and how much testing is invalidated after such a change is backported... If this needs to be completed for testing to begin then it is easy, I suspect that isn't the case though. If this is a build issue it may be release blocking but not branch blocking, provided a build can be expected to be available to begin testing. dt -- Dean Troyer dtroyer@gmail.com
