I probably wouldn't tie a branch to any specific distro. That's setting a bad precedence that could potentially add lots of extra work if other distros want the same treatment. Instead, you could tie branches to python-mode version series. E.g. You could branch for 6.0.x and then 6.1.x would be developed on trunk. Just be cautious about any bug fixes you backport to the 6.0.x branch and don't backport any new features. It would then be up to distro's package maintainer <ahem> to cherry pick fixes from the appropriate branch during the lifetime of the stable distro release. Cheers, -Barry
