THIS IS A TEST INSTANCE. ALL YOUR CHANGES WILL BE LOST!!!!
...
- Release branches will be created approximately once per year. We have decided recently (February 2009) to use the same release numbering scheme than Ubuntu (for instance, 9.3 4 means released in 2009 .Marchin April). This information is used in backend footer to know wich Release.revision is used...
- The trunk will never go into a feature-freeze state but rather development will continue and contributions will be accepted both immediately before and after the cutoff revision for a release branch
- An initial pre-built package will be created and made available to help get people started with the branch
- Once a release branch stabilizes an initial "stable" release tag and pre-built package will be issued
- Patches on the release branch can be created and applied whenever users desire
- Follow on release tags and pre-built packages will be issued when major problems are discovered and fixed, and periodically to represent a significant number of fixes and updates
- Each new release tag and pre-built package will be represented by a third position version number change (since February 2009 seems that we will prefer to use the revision number for that)
- Because it needs too much work, at some point older releases will not be supported by the community (trunk patches not backported)
