Hi,
At the beginning of August, Josef has created new SLE-12-GA maintenance
branch for all Yast repositories at GitHub. At these days, we are still
asked to fix $this or $that and push tose change into SLE 12 G*.
According to a mutual decision, we develop all fixes in SLE-12-GA branch
and merge them into master regularly. From this point of view, both
SLE-12 and master branches contain the same code. But they will most
likely differ some day: we'll start adding new features and maybe some
openSUSE-specific fixes into master only.
OK, finally to the point... We will need different versioning in
SLE-12-GA than in master. In master, we currently use `3.1.$X`. Some
day, we should start using 3.1.X.$Y in SLE-12-GA.
When should we switch from 3.1.$X to 3.1.X.$Y? There are two possibilities:
* immediately, even if we still do the very same changes
in both branches - we would need to change the version when
merging to master
* when they start to differ - we need to keep this in mind all the
time and we might forget because it's hard to think in advance:
does master have already something else that will not be in the
SLE-12-GA branch? Does it already differ?
So, what do you think is better and why?
Thanks in advance
Lukas
