First release is coming fast and starting today we are in freeze period, but given the current patch queue[3] I propose we start with soft-freeze until end of day Friday. ... I hope setuptools will be fixed today so we can stick to the schedule and release this Thursday, to avoid conflict with Juno-1 next week.
Setuptools issue has been resolved but gate queues are still recovering, Zuul event queue length was over 500 this morning! Luckily, all but two Neutron patches (see below) have merged and I'll send call for testing email when regenerated stable-icehouse tarballs hit tarballs.openstack.org. I'd appreciate CI results from distros as soon as possible, please take stable/icehouse directly from git if you can.
Soft-freeze is to allow patches currently under review to get merged but no new patches should be accepted. As always, feel free to raise exception requests on stable-maint list.
https://review.openstack.org/96919 and https://review.openstack.org/96920 were in the check queue over > 18h and I've removed them from the gate to investigate the failures. Kyle, both were actually proposed after deadline, could you justify them as exception requests? Cheers, Alan
