It's only been two weeks since I sent out the August State of the Repository, but the tree has already had 271 revisions. There have been several large commits, and trunk has had several build breakages, and instability in general. Just today we had three commits reversing and unreversing some of Alex's changes. I'm calling for a trunk freeze until several issues have been addressed.
* The release build is broken. So far the string library and the usb code have been fixed. I was working with Alex on a break in the exception handling when this topic came up. * There seems to be a mysterious hang when shutting down ReactOS in qemu. I've seen it personally and heard reports of it, but since it locks up qemu so bad you can't free the mouse, no one has gotten a trace (that I am aware of). * Gunnar's win32k changes introduced several bugs, many of which were fixed, but I still feel unsure about others that may be hiding. * Hartmut fixed the MP build. See, I didn't even know that was broken.
I would like to freeze the tree for 72 hours, over the weekend, allowing bugfixes only. I think we all need to grab a fresh copy and run it under every platform we have, checking all the options.
According to the rules set forth, I need three developers. Who agrees to a trunk freeze?
