The branch seems to be gathering dust with little or no prospect of an actual release. This sort of thing shouldn't be allowed to happen.
If branches are created to mark the start of a feature freeze, then effort can be directed towards the creation of a release candidate and (gasp) an actual release. If a branch is created without an associated release, or other valid reason, then it runs the risk of becoming stale, as has happened in the "1.0 stable" case. My advice would be to branch the CVS head and call it 1.0.0, put a feature freeze on the new branch and work towards quickly creating a "stable" release. A 1.0.x can be released periodically to bring stable users up to date with bugs fixed - assuming they are fixed in the current "stable" and not just in the head. The CVS head can still be worked on and, when the time is right, a 1.1.0 can be branched to introduce stable users to the new features. Some people would advocate the Linux kernel numbering scheme where 1.0.0 would be stable and 1.1.0 would be development. I would say that that sort of thing just seems like an overkill on a project this size; Anyone who wants to use the "development branch" can track the current CVS head. -- _/ _/ _/_/_/_/ _/ _/ _/_/_/ _/ _/ _/_/_/ _/_/ _/ _/ _/ _/_/ _/ K e v i n W a l s h _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/_/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] _/ _/ _/_/_/_/ _/ _/_/_/ _/ _/ _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
