Hi, quick question:
Today I goofed up a merge proposal created via the web interface because I
proposed to merge my branch into the "Development Focus", lp:launchpad. It
turns out that lp:launchpad is not, in fact, where we do development work.
lp:launchpad-devel is.
So why isn't lp:launchpad-devel, the branch where we land our code, set as
the development focus? Even if just as a convenience to those using the web
interface?
Because stacking is more efficient on branches that have more
revisions, and the development focus determines stacking, and db-devel
has the most revisions.
Well, 'more revisions' is a bit of an oversimplification. I assume the
detail behind the choice is that revisions landed into devel reach
db-devel usually in a matter of hours, whereas revisions landed into
db-devel only reach devel once a month.
Hence, db-devel makes an adequate stacking base for branches off devel,
whereas devel is a poor stacking base for branches off db-devel most of
the time.
Max.
