[FFmpeg-devel] [RFC] Next release and regressions

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 592 bytes --]

Hi

Trac lists 162 non closed bugs with keyword regression
https://trac.ffmpeg.org/query?status=new&status=open&status=reopened&keywords=~regression

Our next major release maybe will be next december

I suggest we try to reduce the number of regression bugs, and also to
add fate tests for as many of these when they are fixed as easily
possible.

Thanks

When is 5.1.0 ? June/July?
If so, then reducing regressions would be very nice at that time.

Sounds like that would fit

I think regressions should always be a thing to fix, not just
at time of a release.
Doing it just at a release will make the whole more entangled
and then when there are 30 issues one wants to fix and time for
only fixing 10 the fixes will be worse and people would skip
writing fate tests as thats the easiest to skip when time is
short

thx

Regression fixes should be backported to stable branches, unless they are 
very invasive. I'd rather suggest a bug hunt of all issues categorized as 
important, mostly regressions, some crashes.

yes

i was slightly hesitating with suggesting "important" as i feared bikedsheding
over what is "important", "regression" is more clearly defined
but of course important bugs should be fixed 

thx
