BIND 9.11 ESV Soft Code Freeze

BIND 9.11 Release branch has been put on Soft Code Freeze as of .

That means there will be restrictions on the amount of the code we regularly backport to v9_11 branch.

The only class of things that we will semi-automatically backport to BIND 9.11 are:

  • high and critical security fixes
  • critical bug fixes
  • FTBFS fixes

All these changes will have to be at least discussed with Support Team (e.g. we will put the list into the pad) and signed-off by either Security Officer, or Support team member, or Director of DNS Engineering (@ondrej) or BIND 9 QA Manager (@michal).

Any other changes will have to be discussed during with the Support Team and signed-off by either Security Officer or Support team member _AND either Director of DNS Engineering (@ondrej) or Head of BIND 9 QA (@michal).

The double sign-off needs includes (not a complete list):

  • medium security fixes
  • protocol maintenance

Exempts to this rule:

  • unit and system tests enhancements and fixes (more tests are always good)

Things that should not be backported ever:

  • cosmetic fixes
  • feature enhancements

P.S.: For the next ESV, I will try to impose the Soft Code Freeze way earlier. P.P.S.: This applies only for BIND 9.11 ESV Open Source edition, it does not apply to BIND 9.11 ESV Subscription Edition.
