I am about to begin concurrently releasing findutils 4.2.x (a "stable" branch) and 4.3.x (a "development" branch). The princpal thing provoking this is the change to use fts. Hence the current fts branch will soon be merged into the trunk. This means that findutils-4.2.x will concentrate on necessary bugfixes only and aim principally for stability. On the other hand findutils-4.3.x will try to make best advantage of the gnulib fts implementation, and will generally feel free to take larger evolutionary steps. Future changes to the findutils 4.2.x will be carried out on the CVS branch 'rel-4-2-fixes'. For the moment, findutils-4.3.x will be developed on the trunk. I propose to handle the FTS feature like this: findutils version configure arguments Result ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 4.2.x (none) Old code, without fts 4.2.x --with-fts=yes Invalid, not supported 4.2.x --with-fts=no Invalid, not supported ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 4.2.x (none) With FTS 4.3.x --with-fts=yes With FTS 4.3.x --with-fts=no Old code, without fts Now is your chance to comment that the final two rows of the table are a bad idea - that is, if you think that the ftsfind.c implementation is not ready to be enabled by default in findutils-4.3.x, please say so now.
