My reason for doing the bugfixing in the release branch was to avoid ever having freezes in trunk, which has been shown to frustrate people, and possibly be counter-productive. On the other hand, having to fix bugs in two branches is probably not worth it. A freeze in trunk prior to branching sounds like the better solution. >>> 7. ...After this (or possibly during 4-6), new features should get into > trunk... > > If you do 4-6 as per your plan, then new features must be allowed into trunk > immediately (i.e. no freeze). > If you do 4-6 as I suggest above, then we only allow new features at 7. My proposal was a sort of "soft freeze" of trunk during the pre-release bugfixing, where people were simply encouraged to work on the release-branch rather than working on new features for trunk, but now that I think about it, I agree that the overhead of doing bugfixes twice is not worth it. -- Jonas Häggqvist rasher(at)rasher(dot)dkReceived on 2007-08-10 Page template was last modified "Tue Sep 7 00:00:02 2021" The Rockbox Crew -- Privacy Policy |
