Meeting log: https://meetings.koha-community.org/2022/development_irc_meeting_8_june_2022... Meeting minutes: https://meetings.koha-community.org/2022/development_irc_meeting_8_june_2022... General agreement was reached that: 1. LTS = 2.5 to 3 years 2. Start with oldstable (which is now 21.11) 3. LTS maintainer role for each cycle (there is no expectation that this is same person for up to three years - can be/preferable that it is someone different each cycle) 4. Mandate = security + things that are broken (APIs (external), dependencies (such as Elasticsearch), etc) + essential backports only once past oldoldstable 5. Irregular release - only when something is needed once past oldoldstable 6. Let everyone know what LTS is and what it means for support (website, mailing list, manual section on supported versions, etc) For the next 21.11 release indicate that it is proposed that 21.11 becomes the first (next?) LTS release - we would confirm or otherwise at next development meeting. Actions to take (so far): 1. Create bug 2. Seek feedback on development mailing list 3. Agree at next available development IRC meeting 4. Once agreed: . Update website . Message to general mailing list . Add role for LTS release maintainer for the next cycle (23.05) . Installation notes . Manual section on supported versions -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. You are watching all bug changes.
