Stable releases

> +

Stable point releases follow mainline releases. > +

After each -rc tag and after the final version, relevant bug fixes get > + backported by the stable maintainers into the respective branches in "bursts". > +

Developers can provide stable-specific patches by sending them to stable@dpdk.org > + only (avoiding dev@dpdk.org). > +

After all the relevant bugfixes have been backported, regression tests are ran, > + and if clear, the stable release is announced. > +

Typically a new stable release version follows a mainline release by 1-2 weeks, depending > + on the test results. It is a good description of the current process. When this patch is applied, I would like to discuss having a first stable release before the next major release. > +
