  • 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 means released in 2009.March). 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 with be represented by a third position version number change (since February 2009 seems that we will prefer to use the revision number for that)
