[Koha-devel] Reconciliation branch --mail à destination de la communauté Besoin de ton aval

[Chris Cormack]

Henri-Damien and I are currently working on cherry-picking commits
from master back to 3.0.x to go into 3.0.4

You can see our progress here
http://git.koha.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=koha-maintenance.git;a=summary

We are not bringing new features, just bugfixes. I hope we can have
this finished in the next few days and then get to testing.

Having 2 feature branches going forward would just be way to much work
to maintain. So leaving 3.0.x to its original purpose the stable
maintenance branch and porting fixes to it is the safest and best
route going forward. It does mean that Henri-Damien and I are working
pretty hard at the moment to get the bug fxes cherry-picked back, and
I thank Henri-Damien for all the work he has put in.
But once we have done this, its just a matter of keeping on top of
this in the future and cherry picking any applicable bugfixes as they
are pushed up onto master.

At least until the 3.2.x branch is created and it becomes Galen's
problem to maintain the stable release :)

>> Hi,
>> After discussing in Yesterday's IRC meeting we have two options :
>> a) test master AND reconciliation branch at about the same time which
>> would double the work. But reconciliation branch could be already there
>> (you can check it out from koha-maintenance/reconciliation)
>>
>> b) rework the reconciliation branch and come down to a simple bug fixing
>> branch.
>> Thus, we can expect 3.2 will be out on time. And 3.0.4 will contain only
>> bugfixes and will be more stable but will take some overtime to make  it.
>> And we would have only one month to wait for all the enhanced contents,
>> and only one version to test thoroughly. 3.0.x would include only bug
>> fixes and would therfore respect the purpose of a stable branch.

>> I have done some job on this reconciliation and I included much more
