See http://subversion.apache.org/docs/community-guide/releasing.html#release-stabilization for details on how release lines and voting work, what kinds of bugs can delay a release, etc. Status of 1.8.2: Candidate changes: ================== * r1469519, r1469520, r1481848, r1481870 Silence compiler warnings, tighten scopes and improve code. Justification: Clean builds make it more likely to notice real compiler warnings. Branch: ^/subversion/branches/1.8.x-r1469519-and-friends Votes: +1: blair, brane -0: philip (see dev thread: false alarm, trades one warning for another) * r1498000 Improve error handling for inherited property requests by using the transition based xml parser in libsvn_ra_serf. Justification: This maintenance work which usually doesn't belong in a patch release makes it possible to properly detect if this request should be restarted on non-chunk-enabled proxies. Votes: +1: rhuijben, ivan * r1496127 Fix occasional failure of checkout_tests.py 12. Justification: Spurious FAILs confuse people testing the release. Votes: +1: philip, rhuijben -0: danielsh (loses functionality; patch sent with alternative fix) stsp: where exactly is the alternative patch? danielsh: http://mid.gmane.org/20130705040533.GL3244@lp-shahaf.local * r1501199, r1501207, r1502777 Verify the result of the xml parser in ra serf, instead of assuming the parsing always succeeds. Justification: While in general we can just rely on the parsed result being incomplete, this makes many network (and server implementation) problems easier to diagnose. Votes: +1: rhuijben, stefan2 * r1501293, r1501338, r1501360, r1501533 Fix issue #4390, "parallel nested checkout not possible with wc-ng" Justification: Regression from 1.6. User complained. See issue for details. Branch: ^/subversion/branches/1.8.x-issue4390 Depends: Nomination conflicts with the branch and merges cleanly without it. Branch should probably be removed from the nomination (it was only needed before r1503552). Votes: +1: stsp, rhuijben -0: ivan (not regression from 1.7.x, destructive change in libsvn_wc core) * r1501656, r1501702 Fix the ability to build Debug Build with BDB FS on Windows. Justification: Our build system should work properly. Votes: +1: breser, stefan2 -0: rhuijben (Not a regression and I don't think we should encourage building with just a debug BDB (even for release mode) by backporting this change. That would require using the non-distributable debug CRT. Trunk has a cleaner detection of BDB (via db.h) and even while debugging a maintainer build of Subversion a release BDB works fine) * r1468980, r1478987, r1502811 Reduce the number of ra sessions for automatic merge calculations to two. Justification: 10 concurrent ra sessions open to a single server at the same time breaks in certain setups (e.g. xinetd svnserve), while we really don't need this many. Opening ra session is still a performance killer in all other scenarios, so reducing the number of sessions is a good thing. Notes: Depends on r1502901 and r1502909, to avoid ra-session reuse errors. r1468980 is a small performance tweak needed for a clean merge. r1478987 removes a common ra session. r1502811 avoids all ra session creations via svn_client__mergeinfo_log. Votes: +1: rhuijben, stefan2 +0: breser (I see that the call to svn_ra__assert_mergeinfo_capable_server() was removed from get_mergeinfo() in mergeinfo.c, but not mentioned in commit logs. Looking at the code it seems that finding out if the server and repo support merginfo requires trying to get some, but don't we need to pretty up the error here like the assert would do for us?) * r1512300, r1512301 Clean up unpacked revprops in 'svnadmin hotcopy --incremental' Justification: Although keeping the unpacked revprop files should not do harm, it still results in the target repo being different from the source. Also, it wastes disc space. Notes: r1512300 is merely a test case update to reproduce the problem.
