Agree that separate repos make more sense than branches. Jarmo

Aihe: Re: [lng-odp] Relaxing merge process


Taras,

Sounds good as long as we substitute the word branches with repositories. 
Branches do not make much sense IMHO.

I'd like to sum up our yesterday's discussion about making merge process more
relaxed. Current process with a single master branch assumes that each patch
need to keep all platforms in a working state, which is next to impossible,
because patch author doesn't have enough expertise in all platforms. The same
happens with a complex examples. This leads to a significant slow down of new
API sets development.

The idea we came up with is to split the master branch into several branches:
- master: contains core LNG deliverables: linux-generic, tests and simple
  examples
- implementation branches (linux-keystone2, linux-dpdk, etc): contains one
  implementation
- examples: contains complex examples like IPSec.

Each branch has its maintainer.
At release point when linux-generic has everything for release we fork a release
branch (odp-v1.0) from master. Other branches get pulled into release branch
when branch maintainer have updated it to the same API level as linux-generic in
release branch.

This approach allows to unblock and speed up linux-generic development.
As before patches to any branch should go through ML review process.
