My view would be that any bugfix for a flyspray task would be a candidate to go in the stable branch. Fixes which are too fiddly to backport would probably miss out (or at that point we talk about a new minor stable build (but 3.7.3 -> 3.8)). I was really hoping to get more feedback, if no one cares about talking about it there is a good chance no one will bother with the work of keeping the stable branch updated and tested and working. This simply wont work if only a few people look after the branch. Received on 2010-10-19 Page was last modified "Mon Nov 16 10:57:21 2020" The Rockbox Crew -- Privacy Policy |
