edk2-stable201905 features and soft/hard freeze and release date

[Michael D Kinney]

Hello,

There have been a few discussion during the soft freeze for
edk2-stable201905 on changes that can be accepted or not.

The TianoCore Stewards met today to discuss these topics and
make some decisions on the following features.

* Update OpenSSL version to upcoming 1.1.1
  https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1089

  This feature must be completed for edk2-stable201905.
  We are willing to extend the soft freeze, hard freeze,
  and release date to make sure this feature is completed.
  Please complete the patches and reviews and perform all
  validation required for this feature and provide status
  to the mailing list.  The release date will be pushed out
  if required to accommodate this feature.

* Move network related components from MdeModulePkg to NetworkPkg
  https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1293

  Updating MdeModulePkg to remove the extra build of the network
  modules is considered low risk and should be completed for 
  edk2-stable201905.

* Standardize EDK II PI root-of-trust verification implementation
  https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1617

  Move to edk-stable201908

* FeatureFlagExpression Support in LibraryClasses section of INF file
  https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1446

  Move to edk-stable201908

* Add new tool chain for LLVM/CLANG8.0
  https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1603

  Move to edk-stable201908

Please let us know if there are any other features that require
consideration for edk2-stable201905.

Of course critical bug fixes are accepted during the soft/hard
freeze.  If there is any doubt if a patch is a bug fix or a 
feature, please ask before doing any commits.

Thanks,

Mike

Mike:
  Once the release is deferred, the release will happen June. 
  So, the stable tag will be changed to edk2-stable201906.

Wang, Jian and Ard: 
  I see you are working on this patch. Can you give the fix plan?
  Then, I can propose new schedule on edk2-stable201905 tag. 

  Because the release is deferred, I will not send announcement for hard freeze this week.

OK.  I move these three features to next stable tag.

I don't really want to get into bikeshedding here, but I just want to
point out that we do not need to rename the stable tag just because of
the release being pushed out.

For my Linaro firmware releases, I tend to stick with the original
name regardless. I recently published 19.03 :)

Best Regards,

Leif

I agree.  We should not change the release name.  The goal
is to finish the work as fast as possible.  If we are
successful, the delay could be limited to a few days.

I understand. So, we still keep stable201905. 

Now, I don't get the message from Wang, Jian and Ard. 
So, I don't know how much effort are required. Because 
I have sent the announce to enter in the soft freeze, I think 
we are still in the soft freeze.  I will delay hard freeze announcement 
until we have the answer.

Re: edk2-stable201905 features and soft/hard freeze and release date

[Liming Gao]

Hi, all
  Now, we are still in soft feature freeze. 201905 stable tag depends on openssl 1.1.1 update, openssl 1.1.1 depends on ArmSoftFloatLib update, ArmSoftFloatLib depends on the discussion of contribution of code licensed. Once the conclusion is made, I will send the mail to announce the hard feature freeze. I may reduce the hard feature freeze period so that we can create 201905 stable tag as early as possible. Thank you for your cooperation and patience.

  Below is the status of current dependency. 
 Openssl 1.1.1 patch https://edk2.groups.io/g/devel/topic/patch_v5_0_9_crypto/31832279?p=,,,20,0,0,0::recentpostdate%2Fsticky,,,20,2,20,31832279, Reviewed-by Wang, Jian
 ArmSoftFloatLib patch https://edk2.groups.io/g/devel/message/41517?p=,,,20,0,0,0::Created,,ArmSoftFloatLib,20,2,0,31813765,  Reviewed-by Leif
 contribution of code licensed https://edk2.groups.io/g/devel/message/41639?p=,,,20,0,0,0::Created,,contribution,20,2,0,31823110, under discussion.
