Scope and Timeline for Puppet Platform 6.4.5
Nirupama Mantha
I would like to draw your attention to the scope and timeline for the next release in the 6.4.z series, Puppet Platform 6.4.5.
Scope
The scope of this release includes fixes for security vulnerabilities and problems with Puppet Platform 6.4.4 that are found by the community. Code for this release should land on the ‘6.4.x’ branch (and corresponding component branches) for puppet-agent and the ‘6.3.z’ branches for PuppetDB and Puppet Server.
Timeline
The “Stop Ship Line” milestones, by which time all planned code changes must be complete, are targeted for January 3 (puppet-agent) and January 6 (PuppetDB and Puppet Server).
This means that all remaining work for the release needs to be planned during the next two weeks, with the goal of shipping the release on January 14.
If you have any questions or concerns about any of this, please let me know.
Thanks,
