[Ganglia-developers] backports for 3.1.6 - testing

[Daniel P. <da...@po...>]

I've just done some backports for 3.1.6 (see log below), there may be a 
couple of others to come too

- are there any more backports that people would like?

- it's probably time for people to start testing the monitor-core-3.1 
branch with the view that we will tag 3.1.6 in the next 1-2 weeks

Some other things that have been discussed for 3.1.6 on the list:

- bootstrapping - we are deciding whether to use Debian 5 or the same 
environment as 3.1.2

- dropping the release names, and just using a release number

- git - maybe this won't happen until later
