Hi!
This is the start of the stable review cycle for the 4.19.89 release. There are 243 patches in this series, all will be posted as a response to this one. If anyone has any issues with these being applied, please let me know.
Responses should be made by Fri, 13 Dec 2019 14:56:06 +0000. Anything received after that time might be too late.
Is there something funny going on with the timing, again? I see that 4.19.89 is already out:
Just for the record, in my opinion it is perfectly fine to publish stable releases early after all expected feedback is in. That lets me merge the release early today and gives me time to fix any merge related problems. I don't see the benefit of waiting until 14:46:07.
And that's exactly what I do. I wait for the expected feedback to come in and if it looks good, I do a release.
I ususally delay the "official" announcement a bit to give the Android builder/testers some time to give feedback after I make the tarballs as they are good at finding problems no one else seems to catch, and then I do the email announcements.
thanks,
