[Libreoffice-qa] REMINDER: Release 3.6.5.1 from libreoffice-3-6 branch

[Petr Mladek]

Hi,

please note that the commit deadline for 3.6.5.1 (aka rc1) is on Monday, January 14,
2013.

The tag and branch libreoffice-3-6-5 is going to be created the day after.
Only commits with 3 reviewers will be allowed for that branch.

IMPORTANT: If there are not found serious regressions, we will release
rc1 as the final build. By other words, we will try to avoid rc2[*].

PS: Please, help with reviewing pending commits.

[*] This is a special case. QA suggested to have two weeks between 4.0.0
betas and rcs. I modified the schedule in October but it was too late to
change the feature freeze. We also could not shift the final release
date because it is synced some distro releases. The result is that 4.0.0
release is not ideal. There is only one week between rc2 and rc3 and
there is no time to do 3.6.5.2 in between. If we need 3.6.5.2 in the
end, it has to be done after 4.0.0.3 and thus 3 weeks after rc1. It is
pretty long delay and we would like to avoid it :-)

Note that the schedule for 4.1.0 and 4.2.0 release are better interlaced
with the other bugfix releases.
