The stable branch. We are experimenting with a new way of using the stable branch in which it is the default branch for developers to work from and submit patches to (they get applied in unstable first, on the other hand). Stable acts in three ways 1) Normally, it tries to pull patches from unstable with a relatively short delay (one or two days at most) after they have passed the buildbots. 2) 'Obvious' patches (to the test suite, documentation) are 'fast-tracked' to stable for quick turn-around. 3) Coming up to a release, the flow patches into stable is throttled with fewer and fewer patches being accepted at each increasing pre-release. The idea is that we start cooling stable down eventually freezing it by the last pre-release. -- Eric Kow <http://www.nltg.brighton.ac.uk/home/Eric.Kow> PGP Key ID: 08AC04F9
