llvm dev - Jun 2015 - [LLVMdev] LLVM 3.7 release plan and call for testers

Hello everyone,

Please let me know if you'd like to help providing binaries and
testing for your favourite platform. If you were a tester on the
previous release, I've bcc'd you on this email.

I propose this schedule for the 3.7 release:

- 14 July 2015: Create the release branch.

- 14 July -- 21 July: Testing Phase I. RC1 binaries are built and tested.

- 22 July -- 29 July: Fix bugs from Testing Phase I. All new features
for the release should be complete. Incomplete features need to be
turned off by default.

- 30 July -- 6 August: Testing Phase I. RC2 binaries are built and tested.

- 7 August - 14 August: Fix bugs from Testing Phase II. Only critical
bug fixes are accepted.

- 21 August: Release 3.7.0.

Unless there are any objections, I will post this on the web page soon.

Cheers,
Hans

I'll be doing the FreeBSD binaries and testing, as usual.

It looks good to me, though during this time, some people may be on vacation, at
least part of the time? :)

Count me in, Fedora and openSUSE, and just so you know, I genuinely dislike
them both :P

P.S. I had a look at your batch file for building on windows but I noticed
that it doesn't do a full bootstrap? I guess it'll be fixed once we move
to
CMake releases?

Happy to do an x64 Ubuntu or two (probably 14.04 and 15.04).

Hi Hand,

No objections, I'm in for testing. 

Cheers,

Hi,

I'll do Mips as usual. Are we going to do an autoconf-based build for LLVM
3.7? If so, I might try Mips64 packages too.

Daniel,
        Note the openmp library only has cmake build machinery
preventing autoconf-based builds.

Yes, I realize this, and it's a little unfortunate, but hopefully
enough folks are around and the process long enough that it will work
out.

If this turns out to be a real problem, we could consider slipping
future releases a little further into the year, but I'd really like to
avoid that and stick to the current 6-month cycle if possible.

Right, I should probably try that. We're already using CMake for the
Windows binaries, so it's just a matter of updating the script and
making sure it works. I'll see if I can get this done for the next
snapshot.

+lldb-dev, which I should have included in the first place.

lldb hasn't been a major part of the release process before. There are
no pre-built binaries, and I don't think it has seen much testing in
previous releases.

However, it still gets a release branch and tags, and the source is
part of the release. I'm hoping there are folks willing to test it and
make sure the release version of lldb works nicely with the release
version of llvm, etc.

Hello,

I'd like to help with the lldb release process on the linux platform,
but I'm kinda new to this, so I would appreciate if you could explain
it to me what would this involve.

cheers,
pl
