Development Version

+

+ For the sake of simplicity, there are two development + branches - "default" and "stable". Although it might + seem obvious, here's an overview of the types of + changes that go into each branch: +

+ +
    +
  • + Any change in the build scripts goes into "default". +
    • +
  • + Any package upgrade goes into "default". +
    • +
  • + Any documentation upgrade that refers to a feature + not present in stable goes into "default". +
    • +
  • + Anything else that doesn't effect the build goes + into "stable". +
    • +
  • + Any non-critical improvement to the main Makefile + goes into "stable". +
    • +
  • + Any improvement in the package download URLs or + package version recognition goes into "stable". +
    • +
  • + When in doubt, use "default" rather than "stable". +
    • +
  • + After a successful testing phase, the whole "default" + branch will be merged (moved) into "stable". +
