[pacman-dev] Pending 3.2 release thread
This thread is meant for discussion about the upcoming 3.2 release which I would like to do in the next two to three weeks. It has been a while since a major release and I think we should get one out the door. At this point I think we can say there should be no large-scale feature addition before the release, and I would encourage you to heavily use and test the current master git branch on your system to ensure we aren't letting anything slip by we shouldn't. I updated pacman-git tonight in my repository for i686. I will try to get an x86_64 build updated sometime as well. Nagy has mentioned that FS#8905 should get looked at before the release, and I tend to agree, although I am not sure how to proceed with this. Please let me know what you guys think, and if we have any pending patches outstanding to fix this issue please resubmit. If you feel an outstanding bug should be a blocker, speak now or never. We will need one week for translation requests and updates to be submitted, so we can continue to do some small-scale fixes at that point if they don't affect strings. On-topic thoughts/comments/questions are welcome. -Dan

I'll try to make Ukrainian translation (mostly done) ready for inclusion. -- Roman Kyrylych (Роман Кирилич)

That is fine, but we haven't called for a string freeze yet so keep in mind we might still have a few small changes. -Dan

OK. Then I wait for a string freeze before sending a patch. -- Giovanni Scafora Arch Linux Trusted User (voidnull) AUR & Pacman Italian Translations http://www.archlinux.it

So, a month down the track, what is happening with this? Allan
