Is staging open again?

Is staging open again?

[Hartmut Goebel]

Hi,

I have a patch which should go to staging (600 packages need recompile).
Is staging open for commit?

Staging is nearly fully built, so it will have to wait until next round.

Generally, branches 'close' once a Hydra evaluation starts.  Check in
here for progress: <https://hydra.gnu.org/jobset/gnu/staging>.

Currently evolution-data-server fails to build, I've sent some patches
here: <https://bugs.gnu.org/30733>.  Once that is fixed, we'll do a new
(hopefully last) evaluation and merge if there is no fallout.

PS: GNOME users, please test staging when #30733 is merged, since it
updates evolution-data-server to 3.26 while most of GNOME is still
3.24.

Where to queue patches for staging? (was: Is staging open again?)

This sound complicated for the occasional (staging-) contributor.

How should I determine when the next round is about to start? I can't
even spot that "staging is nearly fully built" and hydra's web-front-end
is slow. Further I do not have the time for monitoring hydra and catch
the time-window then I can push my commit. For me this does not work out
- and I assume for others if doesn't, too.

Is there some queue-for-staging branch where I can commit this patch to?
Or some other means, like setting some bug-status?

There are typically discussions on guix-devel when we start the branch.
Here is the previous correspondence:
<https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2018-02/msg00406.html>.

I suppose we can make it clearer when a branch becomes 'bugfix-only'.

Feel free to push a 'staging-next' branch or something along those lines
to Savannah.  Then we can "promote" it once the current branch is merged.
