In my mind 3.5.13.1 has been already complete for
several months. It's
obvious that only a few small patches are making their way in nowadays
Push that as a release asap!
I won't be able to run an official build set from anything other than GIT
head, but if Slavek has 3.5.13.1 built for all our supported Debian and
Ubuntu versions I can go ahead and release an SRU from that.
Slavek or someone better acquainted with GIT than I am will need to
generate source tarballs as well, as I cannot use the normal automation to
generate tarballs from an SRU tag in GIT.
You know as well as I do that we're going to get the usual slew of "they
still use HAL", "network-manager doesn't work", "where are the
new
features", etc. from the community if 3.5.13.1 is released as 3.5.14.
This would further damage our image and I strongly recommend against it.
Releasing an SRU instead indicates that we are concerned about product
quality.
