Yes, it would, but it doesn't. The idea is that developers (you, Miguel, Paul, ...) suggest a patch to be included in the stable branch. The suggestion is made by putting the revision number for that patch in the 'Developers reports'. > What is the procedure for moving something from "needs testing" to > "unapproved" That's up to the developer. If you think a patch should go into stable, but just needs a bit more testing, then 'needs testing'. If you feel it is ready to move to the stable branch, the developer would put it in 'unapproved'. It's up the the release manager of stable to move things from the 'Developers reports' to 'Stable release maintainer decisions'. > By the way, "unapproved" can mean something other than what you mean > here. It generally has the meaning "not authorized" or even "considered, > but in the end not approved". Could we change that to "tested, pending" Yes, that's fine with me. BTW, the "considered, but in the end not approved" is the 'Rejected' section. > I guess I'm not sure what "not tested" means exactly. I certainly test > everything I do. Where did you see 'not tested'? > It seems to me once approved, they should IMMEDIATELY be patched in. Why > wait after that? Patch might have conflicts with the code in the stable branch. I guess in practice most patches will skip the 'Approved' section, and directly go into 'Applied'.
