[Mesa-dev] Mesa 18.2.0 release plan

[Andres Gomez]

Hi Mario,

Given the current patches and the talk I had yesterday in IRC with
Daniel and Eric it seems best case scenario is that we could only have
the 3 first patches from:
https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/series/44671/

Landing before branching point. Not the 4/5 and 5/5 nor, it seems:
https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/229397/

I could delay for a bit the branching but it seems like these patches
are going to need some more time so I think I will keep the schedule as
it is.

Let me know if I can do something else.

Br.

PS: If you would like to talk directly to me, I hang out at freenode's
IRC as "tanty". You can find me in the #dri-devel room, for example.
