Hello everyone,
a new pre-release of systemd was tagged today, and it's building in
rawhide now. See https://github.com/systemd/systemd/blob/v243-rc1/NEWS
As usually that type of versioning convention is rubbish and it only adds more work on packaging layer.
Why you guys did not released that as v243.99 ?
Other thing is that looks like systemd devel cycle elongated and it cased that some stabilisation fixes are only committed in master branch with all other changes.
Proposal for next systemd devel cycle:
- create devel branch and commit all devel changes in that branch only + stable fixes
- commit in master branch only stable fixes and release more ofthen v244.1, v244.2 and so on (one time a month or even more often depends on importance of the fixes)
- release candidates starting from v244.99
- when everything in devel will be ready just merge devel branch to master and tag it as new major release.
