My point is that we're creating too many branches ;-)


Bascially 3 at this time. As I pointed out earlier it does not take too 
much effort e.g. to apply fixes to the 2.8 branch *as needed*.

There's nothing wrong with software being in production whose particular
line isn't maintained anymore. I have Linux kernels 2.4 and Apaches 1.3
in production. What's your point?

I checked what all my websites run. They are all on Zope 2.5. No problemas. :)

That's how it has been so far, yes. Maybe we should extend it. But

I'd suggest there are lots of people still on 2.7.x. When 2.10.x is
released imminently, are you saying that everyone will suddenly jump off
2.8.x?

Let me continue that. :)

Supporting old versions must reasonably be a community effort,
depending on if people have the time to do so. We can't just say
three versions should be officially supported and then not doing it.

Note that this should also extend to the Zope 3 releases. Zope 3.2 is
part of Zope 2.9 and will hence be used for quite some time. Yet,
bugfixes aren't even backported to the Zope 3.2 branch anymore...

Is there any chance we can create an overview page that reflects the 
status of what changes need to be ported where and what the status of 
that branch is? Maybe some kind of matrixy-thingy?


However, I'm afraid any page in the development area will get lost in 
that sea of pages ... :)

+1, I'd like some way to easily know when a release is no longer
maintained.  i.e., what's the X in the above formula.

as others have observed, bugfixing is easier when you have fewer
branches to patch and test...

OK, but just to clarify:
Will we stop having to backport bugfixes to 2.8 when 2.10 final
is released?  But we need to backport bugfixes during the 2.10 beta
cycle?

Is this policy written down somewhere?

Yes, but in most cases a fix only affects only Zope 2 or Zope 3. So
we are back to 3.
