Yes, just for review: "trunk" or "development": these are the versions that we the developers commit our daily changes to. Thus, they are in flux and must be considered "unstable". In other words, we may break something and subsequently fix it. "stable": means nothing but easy-to-backport bugfixes get committed to it. So, it is stable because we aren't messing with it, so if it worked yesterday you can count on it working today. However, by using stable you need to wait until the next major release to get stuff we are currently working on, including new things and some bugfixes. Most simple bugfixes we will eventually backport to the stable branch, but if you are willing to suffer some instability I'd also recommend working with the trunk branches of everything as we are actually quite good at fixing things that we break in a timely manner. -- pkm ~ http://paulmcnett.com _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/dabo-users
