It works thus: development happens on libzmq, and when we decide it's ready for a new major release, we create a forked repo. Patches go into this repo, which gets a more and more strict process as the codebase gets more mature. It's confusing but no more so than multiple branches in one repo, which has other big problems. See http://unprotocols.org/blog:24 for a discussion of that. A single large repo is fragile and complex. Yes, most projects do that. No, we're not most projects. New users should not see the repos, these are for contributors. -Pieter _______________________________________________ zeromq-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zeromq.org/mailman/listinfo/zeromq-dev
