The branches are Apache branches. They are intended to be developed here, as was discussed on general@. For all effects and purposes, Y! retired its internal branches. If you missed the discussion, it's in the archives.
This message is about version numbers, and version numbers only. The branch version numbering follows what Y! has been using internally. It also does not conflict with the version numbers pushed to github and absorbed by other consumers of that branch, e.g. CDH and Facebook. The intent is to reduce confusion among users and release engineers in organizations that were pulling from the retired repositories. The intent is to ease their transition (back) to Apache. -C On Fri, Apr 15, 2011 at 10:19 AM, Doug Cutting <[email protected]> wrote: > Is the intent for these branches to do anything but mirror Y!'s internal > branches? > > Doug > > On 04/15/2011 08:54 AM, Owen O'Malley wrote: >> Hi all, >> I've been doing a bit of travelling, but I'm back now.
