Tree and branch states

Unread post by Moonchild » 2015-08-03, 09:33

Since things have gotten rather confusing for contributors lately, I've reorganized the tree, committed Goanna to main development, and split out development a different way.

This post to clarify the resulting structure.
  • The Goanna branch has been merged, and continued development of the milestone will have to be done on the master branch (trunk)
  • A separate branch (v25_Dev) is present for additional development on 25.* versions, which will be mostly security & usability fixes from this point forward. No main new features should land there.
  • Unless a patch is specific to 25.* only, it should be landed on master, and if it requires uplift to 25.*, please add a note to the PR or submitted patch
Previously:

Code: Select all

master (v25/26 mixture)
|
+- Goanna (v26)
+- RelBranch (v25)
+- Atom (v25 only, has not been updated since 25.6)
  +-Atom_RelBranch (v25)
New:

Code: Select all

master = Goanna (v26)
|
+- RelBranch (v26) (new, when we get to that stage))
+- Atom (v26)
| +- Atom_RelBranch (v26)
|
+- v25_Dev
  +- RelBranch (v25) (for as long as we develop pre-Goanna)
  +- v25_Atom
    +- Atom_RelBranch (v25)
