We have a "branch dedicated to bug fixes" twice a year. They are called "release branches" and live for about a year each. More details at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7DBzRfW8R5k http://conference.libreoffice.org/assets/Conference/Aarhus/Slides/BjoernMichaelsenreleases.pdf If you need a branch that is living longer than a year, that is possible too, but nothing volunteers would commit to. It is offered by various L3 supporters of LibreOffice though: http://www.documentfoundation.org/certification/developers/ Best, Bjoern _______________________________________________ List Name: Libreoffice-qa mailing list Mail address: Libreoffice-qa@lists.freedesktop.org Change settings: http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-qa Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libreoffice-qa/
