Gerrit 2.1.6 delayed until October

[Shawn Pearce]

I was planning to release Gerrit Code Review 2.1.6 before the end of
this month, as I had expected to be taking some personal time in
October. Life has suddenly made other arrangements, and I am taking
that personal time starting now through sometime in early October.

Consequently I now have very significantly reduced time to review
changes, work on bug fixes, or even reply to email on the list. With
that being the case, I don't feel very comfortable with declaring
2.1.6 until after I get back from leave. I'm not dropping offline
altogether, but the odds of me responding to a review or an email are
a whole lot lower now. :-)

For what it is worth, we are running the 2.1.5-63-g503a28a version
built from master on production servers, including
review.source.android.com. Provided that you have set the new
core.streamFileThreshold variable to at least 20m in gerrit.config,
its stable enough that I think I can leave those servers alone until I
return. The default of 5m is too low for reasonable usage with an
Android repository where the api subdirectory of
platform/frameworks/base contains files over 6m in size. :-(
