Are you saying you want to freeze tomorrow *morning* your time (ie. before they "mess with" your internet), or tomorrow *afternoon* (when it will of course be working properly again)? I had hoped to push the series "qemu: assign vfio devices to PCIe addresses when appropriate" for this release, https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2016-November/msg00964.html but by the time I got back from the long Thanksgiving holiday and caught up enough with my email to get to Andrea's reviews, it was too late in the day to have a discussion with him about his question here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2016-November/msg01204.html He didn't give a NACK for putting that function in now (rather than using stat() directly), but also didn't give an ACK. My opinion is in my response: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2016-November/msg01402.html in short, I would rather add the (simple) new function now to promote its use, anticipating that it will be expanded as necessary when it is used in more places. As long as this is okay and that patch can be ACKed, I have the minor modifications for the other 3 patches ready to go and can push with a few moments' notice. As usual, don't screw up your schedule just to accomodate me, but if you can try pinging me on IRC prior to freezing (just in case I'm awake and I've gotten a response about that patch and can push), that would be appreciated (do go ahead and freeze if I don't respond) P.S. to Andrea - I will write a NEWS file entry, but I guess that can be safely pushed after Daniel freezes :-) > > That said they are supposed to mess with my internet tomorrow morning > and I'm travelling till the end of the week, but the above plan should > be doable.
