Hi Luca,
Sorry I forgot this patch you sent one month ago.
09/02/2018 14:04, Luca Boccassi:
> + <h2 id="stable">Stable releases</h2>
> + <p>Stable point releases follow mainline releases.
> + <p>After each -rc tag and after the final version, relevant bug fixes get
> + backported by the stable maintainers into the respective branches in "bursts".
> + <p>Developers can provide stable-specific patches by sending them to stable at dpdk.org
> + only (avoiding dev at dpdk.org).
> + <p>After all the relevant bugfixes have been backported, regression tests are ran,
> + and if clear, the stable release is announced.
> + <p>Typically a new stable release version follows a mainline release by 1-2 weeks, depending
> + on the test results.
It is a good description of the current process.
When this patch is applied, I would like to discuss having a first
stable release before the next major release.
> + <h3 id="stable">Stable releases roadmap</h3>
No need for this title if below is a table.
> + <p>16.11 is an LTS release, and is going to be maintained by Luca Boccassi until the end of
> + 2018, with the latest point release following the release of 18.11 in November 2018.
> + <p>17.11 is an LTS release, and is going to be maintained by Yuanhan Liu until the end of
> + 2019, with the latest point release following the release of 19.11 in November 2019.
We should include non LTS releases and make it a table:
branch next version date end of life maintainer
