Hi guys,
I just wanted to say that this release is shaping up quite nicely. I've
switched to 25.0.92 as my "primary" Emacs on OS X since several days, and I'm
liking the new features.
Also, the Nextstep port seems to have progressed, since I'm experiencing none
of the speed issues that drove me to "Mac port" in the past.
So, just a quick note to say, great job! I'm looking forward to getting 25.1
release ready.

Do we have some ETA on the final release?

We won't have one, until we see some serious pouncing on bugs
mentioned in bug#19759, with the purpose of either fixing them, or
deciding that they shouldn't block the release.

Yes, I do have one: June 21. Nor am I willing to wait forever. If we arrive at
the summer and there are still a few outstanding issues, we may simply note
them in the release document, and make it an incentive to quickly release 25.2
afterward.

What is the purpose of marking them as blocking the release if we
don't really mean that?

I think there can be disagreement about how blocking these blocking bugs
are. From the current list:
New Emacs icon blurry in GNOME on Fedora
Support linking -ldl on Hurd
xwidget-webkit-scroll-behaviour = image is non-functional
etc.
Just reading over the list, they all seem like bugs that should be
fixed, but I'd say two thirds of them are bugs that we could live with
in Emacs 25.1. Or four fifths. And at the rate they're being fixed,
I'd guess the actual ratio is nine tenths. :-)

My point is that we should decide once which ones are blocking, and
then stick by that decision.

I agree. It seems this list is in need of cleanup.

Marking a bug as blocking the release does not mean we won't release, because
this would put our release schedule in the hands of anyone capable of setting
such a mark.
What it does mean is: prior to cutting a release tarball, we will have
addressed each bug, where by "address" we mean:
1. Fix it, or
2. Defer it to 25.2, or
3. Re-categorize as not really blocking
It sounds like several of our current "blockers" should not have been marked
such, so it looks like a bug review is in order. I'll put it on my schedule to
go through these and see which ones truly should not ship in 25.1.

We can unset it as easily as someone can set it. And I don't think we
should consider this possibility, since it's very unlikely to happen.
The current marks are not done by someone as malicious as that.

Fixing bugs might not be a 1-sec job, to say nothing of the need to
test the fixed version in yet another pretest. So I wouldn't
recommend delaying that till just before the release.

That's exactly my point: we should decide _today_ which one are truly
blocking, and then make all the necessary effort, starting with
tomorrow, to fix those which are.

The list of blockers is mostly Glenn's reaction to bug reports (and
thanks, Glenn!) that is not much trimmed later (and is now too long)
because we lack development resources. If it's to be useful, someone
(probably John) needs to go over it more carefully and figure out what
is *really* a blocker.
For example, I just now reviewed Bug#20931, which Glenn filed and marked
as a blocker on June 29 of last year, and then later that day wrote
"maybe I should just get used to it (I don't know if it's worth a NEWS
entry)". This doesn't appear to be a blocker, so I just now unblocked
it. (I don't view it as a bug at all, for what that's worth.)
I expect there's a reasonable amount of low-priority stuff like this
that is unnecessarily bulking up our blocking-bugs list. Which part is
low-priority is debatable, which is why the list needs to be prioritized
somehow.

I think we're just miscommunicating due to the lovely nature of e-mail. By
'prior to release' I just meant "in the time before release happens", which
could be much sooner than 1 second before. :)
I give you extra-special cookie points for every bug you fix in one second,
though.

Ok, can we say "decide by Friday" so that I don't curl up from stress and
implode into an x-ray emitting, black hole of worry on my office chair? I'm
almost done being sick from last week, which has weakened my resolve to
"carpe diem" today.

I will look at each one of them during the week and try to fix some.

At least we can say that having turned into an x-ray emitting black hole
counts as sickness, too.
I think you should take the time you need.

Black holes don't emit X-rays, so I assume you meant that you and your
chair would be an X-ray binary, with your remains accreting mass from
your spaghettifying chair. This would definitely not be a good thing for
the Emacs project. Let's by all means wait until Friday.

I update all my packages (cider, helm, magit, evil, use-package, etc.)
and git-pull & compile the emacs-25 branch almost every day for more
than 3 or 4 months...
I had a very very few breakages and if I had any then git-checkout
<yesterday> & recompile + maybe
10 mins googling always solved the problem.
Great Thanks to all emacs-core and emacs-package developers & contributors!

Friday is indistinguishable from "today".
