Hi there

Here is an update on the Lustre 2.5 release.

Landings

-A number of landings made - see http://git.whamcloud.com/?p=fs/lustre-release.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/master

Testing
=======

-Testing on the 2.4.92 tag completed; testing on the 2.4.93 tag in progress
-The HSM Test plan (see https://jira.hpdd.intel.com/browse/LU-3608) has been executed on the OpenSFS test cluster


Blockers
========

-Full list available at https://jira.hpdd.intel.com/issues/?jql=project%20%3D%20LU%20AND%20fixVersion%20%3D%20%22Lustre%202.5.0%22%20AND%20resolution%20%3D%20Unresolved%20AND%20priority%20%3D%20Blocker%20ORDER%20BY%20key%20DESC

-If there are any issues not presently marked as blockers that you believe should be, please let me know

Other
=====
-We are trialling using the Fix In Release field for the 2.5 release to track work hoped to be included in the release; this means that a fuller picture of the progress on the release can be viewed at https://jira.hpdd.intel.com/browse/LU/fixforversion/10295#selectedTab=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.project%3Aversion-issues-panel

-Feature Freeze is now in effect and 2.5 has entered its stabilization period. We encourage community members to test out the latest code on master and to use JIRA (https://jira.hpdd.intel.com<https://jira.hpdd.intel.com/>) to report any bugs encountered

-Note that in order to adhere to our end of October release target date, we will need to enter code freeze early next week; this will mean that only changes to address blocker issues will be accepted for landing for 2.5.0 and lower priority issues will need to be deferred until 2.5.1

-You can also keep up to date with matters relating to the 2.5 release on the CDWG wiki - http://wiki.opensfs.org/Lustre_2.5.0

Thanks

Peter
