[Pkg-nginx-maintainers] Stretch freeze

[Christos Trochalakis]

Hello all,

A brief update on the state of the package. Stetch is now freezed before
release. During that period, sid will be used a staging area for
important upstream or packaging fixes that might affect the stretch
version (1.10.2-4). So it's better not to push anything on master until
stretch is released as it might get in the way of important fixes.

The kind of changes that are elegible for stretch:

 o targeted fixes for release critical bugs (i.e., bugs of severity
   critical, grave, and serious) in all packages;
 o fixes for severity: important bugs in packages of priority: optional or
   extra, only when this can be done via unstable;
 o translation updates and documentation fixes that are included with fixes
   for the above criteria;

I am also uploading 1.10.2-4~bpo8+1 in jessie-backports so it's
available in jessie as well. That will help us uncover possible upgrading
issues early on.

There is one last thing, 1.10.3 is released handling 8 bugfixes. We can
ask the release team for an exception that will allow us to upload it
for stretch.
