Policy for committing to 2.7
by Eli Bendersky 27 Jun '13

27 Jun '13

Hello, I may be missing something, but do we have a policy of what we're supposed to commit to the 2.7 branch at this point? I was under the impression that it's only bug fixes, documentation, and maybe tests. But it seems that there are developers who see it otherwise. For example, Raymond's changeset 5accb0ac8bfb (which was reverted by Benjamin today). Alas, Raymond did not explain the change even when challenged by multiple other core devs. Changeset f1dc30a1be72, which he committed today, also doesn't appear to belong in a bugfix branch. It would be great if we could document this somewhere - the 2.7 branch is not a usual bugfix-mode branch, I realize, and hence maybe there's some special treatment it deserves. Thanks in advance, Eli

3.2 -> 3.3 merge pending?
by Senthil Kumaran 10 Jun '13

Is there a merge pending from 3.2 to 3.3? http://hg.python.org/cpython/graph/83973?revcount=240 shows that last 3.2 change occurred 10 days ago and the branch has not been merged into 3.3 yet. http://hg.python.org/cpython/rev/b9b521efeba3?revcount=240 Is it pending intentionally or this should be merged and then we go forward with our business as usual. -- Senthil
