During Thanksgiving week and in the last couple weeks of the year, most of the people who do the day to day maintenance of the continuous integration bots and infrastructure will be on vacation in observance of the various (US) winter holidays. In order to keep the builds stable while the maintainers are out on break, we will be observing the following schedule for availability and maintenance of the Swift Open Source infrastructure and associated repositories:
We will be locking the branches in the Swift repos:
from November 22 @ 10 AM PST, until December 1 @ 10 PM and from December 20 @ 10 AM until January 2, 2020 @10 AM.
Response for infrastructure issues and bot triage during those times will be "best effort”. If you see an important issue, please report it in the forums (you can tag the forum admins for extra visibility) or via email at swift-infrastructure@swift.org
PR testing will continue to be available during the holidays, only merging will be disabled
From November 22 until January 12 and from December 12 until February 1. Got it.
...Wait! Those overlap.
I can decipher what the real intent is, but it takes a lot of extra effort to read dates written with digits and it invites confusion.
For anyone else out there as confused as I was, the real dates of the branch locking are Nov. 22 to Dec. 1 and Dec. 12 to Jan. 2. (Edit: I originally wrote “Jan. 1”, but I think that was wrong.)
Except that you copied from mine and I think I made a mistake. Mishal’s note says January 2 and I think that is what you must have originally had (not January 1 like I ended up writing). Otherwise I don’t know how February appeared when I digit‐swapped.
My apologies. I wasn’t trying to mess with you. I swear.
