[jbosstools-dev] 4.3.1 code freeze and our plans for this week

[Alexey Kazakov]

Just for the clarification. To make sure we all are on the same page.

We didn't have a formal code freeze last week on March 24th as was 
planned before. We didn't branch etc.

This is what we are going to do instead:

1. Nick built a snapshot build from 4.3.x branch on March 24th (the 
links are below in the Nick's original email). It's what he called JBoss 
Tools Core 4.3.1.CR1 bits
2. QE can now start testing that snapshot build
3. Developers continue to work on blocker/critical 4.3.1 issues this 
week BUT please make sure:
    - all PRs are properly reviewed and approved by Fred, Max or Alexey 
before merged to 4.3.x.
    - all issues fixed this week have a label "reapin-a" so it will help 
QE to see what was fixed between two builds.
4. The formal code freeze (Nick will create all needed JIRA tasks and we 
will branch, etc) is going to happen on this Thursday, March 31. Let's 
call it JBoss Tools Core 4.3.1.CR1*a
*Those bits will be built from the frozen 4.3.1.x branch and will be 
used in GA release.
5. We may build (and announce) more respins if needed.
6. After the code freeze this week we would need to focus on 
documentation which will include N&N. We also will help the installer 
and doc teams with the getting started page of the installer.

Thanks.
