The 1.0.3 release was on the 5th March, and right now we have accumulated 'only' 150 commits since the release. Based on this I would suggest to wait a couple of weeks before to enter a freeze for the following release. This mean we drift from the usual end of month, but the ratio of freeze/devel will remain more or less constant as well as the expected size of change in the new release. So if this is fine I would suggest to enter freeze for 1.0.4 on the 5th of April for a release around the 12. Unless there is a reason to push a release earlier,
I would prefer it if we just stuck to a release on/near April 1st regardless of how many changes have accumulated. IMHO a predictable release date once a month on/near 1st of the month is more important than the amount of code that has been changed.
to release on the 1st we would have to freeze this Monday meaning only 2.5 weeks of development after a freeze for 1.3 which took 1.5 weeks. I was considering the ratio of freeze time vs. open time too.
I don't really think that's a problem myself, it is just to be expected due to the longer than usual 1.3 freeze. People have had just as much time to /write/ their code, all that changed was the time available to /merge/ their code into upstream.
I'd like to see is be much stricter about following a monthly release schedule in general. It makes it easier for distro maintainers to accurately plan ahead for when libvirt releases will sync up with their schedules, if they can reliably know that we'll always release on the nearest weekday that follows the 1st of the month.
So that mean freezing on monday, I can do that !

That effectively cuts a day for us, leaving us with only four days of freeze since on 1st April it's Easter Monday => public holiday in most countries (at least I've taken look at UK and Czech Republic). But I can live with that since the current status of the HEAD looks good. Michal
