+ around 1/2 of the basic/ code is hooks for testtool (August)
* remove test-tool post the 3.5 branch & all its hooks.
* MariaDB intro (Monty)
+ original MySQL company & product creator
+ MariaDB increasingly visible in the market & featureful
+ 100% drop-in replacement for C connector
+ identical protocol, fully interoperable
+ MariaDB adds extra stuff, but handshakes first
+ client-side is ABI compatible with old mysql C library
+ can continue to use the C++ connector; and get that to
use MySQL C library (Lionel)
+ how much work is that ?
+ new features
+ progress reporting in long runing table operations
+ plan to start collaboration next year
+ never shipped the C library in the past (Lionel)
+ would be good to bundle MariaDB's client library
+ commit to fix any bugs related to LibreOffice in MariaDB
AA: + send Monty mail about other options (Michael)
* Release Engineering update (Petr)
+ 3.5 Beta0 should be available today as pre-release ftp
+ mirrored for tomorrow
+ feature-freeze is on Monday (noon)
+ double code review not required until nearer RC1
=> bug fix committer should cherry-pick themselves
+ tripple cross-company code review for features until nearer
RC1
+ exceptions: artwork, unit-tests until RC1
+ tinderboxes: will attack the libreoffice-3-5 branch primarily
+ branch immediately on feature-freeze (Petr, Caolan)
+ tag on Tuesday ?
+ concerns wrt. hit & run Friday commits (Norbert)
+ expect twitchiness - it's release time ...
+ cherry-picking from master to the branch default mode post 3.5
* use dev builds for beta builds ? (Petr)
+ gives us keyid builds, and parallel installability
+ no desktop integration under linux
AA: + look at improving that for linux (Petr)
AA + remove --enable-release-builds until RCs (packagers)

* Cross-compiling MSIs building (Mitch)
+ not much progress this week
* QA Update (Rainer)
+ significant increase of bugzilla activity, several more
reports & contributors
+ master - not in good shape
+ new windows builds each few hours
+ each new build several new bugs, and several disappear
+ eg. crash on every spreadsheet close
+ error messages on save / blocker stuff
+ then disappear again; the same day.
+ expected to calm down when we branch
=> no new action now
+ Q. is it correlated with one tinderbox ?
AA: + hunt systemic per-tinderbox errors (Rainer)
+ MingW / cross-compiled tinderboxes not so good (Petr)
+ not related to this
+ so buggy, testing stopped
+ why is it so (Kendy)
+ regressions from time to time
+ using it as a fast windows build-ability proxy
not a run-time test.
AA: + add tinderbox name to build-id (Norbert)
+ what 3.5 open bugs are regressions ?
+ 80 bugs - not clear
+ aim at fixing regressions with a higher priority
+ the regression keyword is useful (~All)
+
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/User:RBd/Workbench/Draft0#General
