[Opm] The 2017.04 release branches have been created

[Arne Morten Kvarving]

The testing ppa is now populated with rc1 packages for ubuntu xenial. rc1 has been tagged in all repos, and backports of updates have been submitted.


i didn't get explicit instructions on whether to build for trusty or not, so i took the "lazy" decision. if you want those packages as well, just say so.


TLDR;lock on release branches lifted. commence backport activities.

Emne: [Opm] The 2017.04 release branches have been created

Hi,

I have just created and uploaded the stable branches of OPM 2017.04 for all
modules featured by this release. They are called "release/2017.04" and are
fairly close to what the final release will look like, i.e., these branches are
supposed to only get fixes for serious bugs and packaging updates. For this
reason, Arne Morten Kvarving is the person in charge of them. That said,
maintainers are responsible to apply all bugfixes from the master branch to the
release branch and vice versa until the final version have been made; i.e., if
maintainers decide to merge disruptive changes to master, that's okay with me,
but I'll grill them if they do not fix corresponding bugs in the release branch
via minimal patches, so I advice to be a bit conservative with pressing The
Green Button (TM) during the next two weeks or so.

cheers
  Andreas
