Important Note: We should use the rel-1-2 branch to do the bug-fix and clean up leading to the 1.1.2 release ... the main trunk is where development leading to 1.2, 1.3 and beyond should always happen. As we get ready to release a new version, we'll branch it and start stabilizing on the branch. -pate On Thu, 25 Apr 2002, Chris Cormack wrote:
Hi all
I finally got around to branching the cvs tree. The branch is called rel-1-2 all new work/features should be done in this branch. And the main branch should just be for bugfixes and code tidies.
I plan to do a release of 1.1.2 from the code in the main branch sometime soon.
Here is a good set of instructions on how to work with the branch
http://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual/cvs_5.html#SEC57
I assume that ill have 2 cvs checkouts running, the main one and a checkout of the rel-1-2 branch. And work in either depending on what im trying to do.
When we get to the point of wanting to do a 1.2 release, i imagine we'll merge the branch back in, then branch off a rel-1-3 branch to become the development one.
Hope this makes sense and sounds like a good idea to everyone.
It should give ppl more freedom to make big changes without fear off breaking things in the stable release. We should also be able to tar up bugfix releases a lot faster. Since we dont have to worry about new features getting in the way.
