[ My apologies for the partly redundant/overlapping recipient list. ] [ I wanted to be sure, that "all of you" receive this mail ... ;-) ] Dear (potential ;-) MonetDB developers, to minimize maintenance cost/overhead and avoid conflict/inconsistencies, we (the "core developers") decided to implement the following guidelines for check-ins to the MonetDB CVS repository on SourceForge. These guidelines are active until they are recalled. - All bug fixes go *only* to the release branch ("MonetDB_4-3-16"). - Bug fixes get into the main/head/development branch *only* by being propagated from the release branch. - I (i.e., *only* I ;-) will take care of propagating bug fixes back from the release branch to the main/head/ development branch on a regular basis --- most probably once a day. - "New features" go *only* to the main/head/development branch and are *never* propagated to the release branch. - All check-ins to the main/head/development branch and considered "new features", and hence, never make it into the release branch. Thank you very much in advance for your cooperation!
