Marcelo,
Thank you for stepping forward to be the maintainer of the 2.4 tree. This
is a very valuable and important service for use Linux users.
Also, thank you for releasing 2.4.16. I have it building on my linux box
as I write this message :-)
Over the last few days, there have been lots of messages regarding "Kernel
Release" and "-preX vs. -rcX". You, as the official maintainer of kernel
2.4 are the person who actually creates the release policy and makes it happen.
Would you care to share your thoughts on this matter?
David

Sorry for not being able to discuss this issues... Its just that I'm too
busy doing the maintenance and other stuff at Conectiva at the same time
(people are flooding me with patches, btw, please stop for a while).
Daniel Quinlan suggested me to release a "pre-final" release before the
real final one (which would catch most "stupid" bugs), and I think thats a
nice way of solving the problem.
I'll _probably_ do that --- not sure yet, though.

Aren't all the -pre's pre-finals? And what if there is a big bug found in
the -final, it will obviously be followed up with a -final-final?
I like the ISC's release methods. The do -rc's (-pre's would be fine for
the kernel as it is already established), each -rc fixes problems found
with the previous. When an -rc has been out long enough with no more bug
reports they release that code, WITHOUT changes.

No. Just the -pre-final is a -pre-final. :)
-pre-final basically means that this is the "candidate" release for the
final.
I could call it "candidate" or whatever (I don't really care about the
name).

If people don't like the -pre-final name, I can call it "-candidate" as I
said previously.

Thats exactly the idea with the "pre-final" thingie.

That's what a release candidate is. Expect the possibility that you
might have more than one release candidate.
The -rc scheme proposed seems very clean indeed.
Oh, and yes, if you settle on a naming scheme, *please* let me know
ahead of time so I can update the scripts to track it, rather than
finding out by having hundreds of complaints in my mailbox...

I for one used the -pre and -pre-final naming for the v2.0.39-series,
and I'll probably use the same naming for the final pre-patch of
v2.0.40, _unless_ there's some sort of agreement on another naming
scheme. I'd be perfectly content with using the -rc naming for the
final instead. The important thing is not the naming itself, but
consistency between the different kernel-trees.

Consistency is a Very Good Thing[TM] (says the one who tries to teach
scripts to understand the naming.) The advantage with the -rc naming is
that it avoids the -pre5, -pre6, -pre-final, -pre-final-really,
-pre-final-really-i-mean-it-this-time phenomenon when the release
candidate wasn't quite worthy, you just go -rc1, -rc2, -rc3. There is no
shame in needing more than one release candidate.

Agreed. I stick with the -rc naming convention for 2.4+...

That's funny. The rest of us haven't seen these patches.
Marcelo, if someone sends you a patch which has not been thoroughly
reviewed on the appropriate mailing list, I would urge you to
peremptorily s***can it. There is no reason why you alone should
be responsible for reviewing kernel changes.
