[Monetdb-developers] Re: PFTIJAH CVS branch for Pathfinder

Hi Jan, Hi Henning, first of all, sorry for the late reply --- I had been quite busy recently --- only now (on short holidays in Germany ;-)) I found some time to write a proper reply ... Well, in principle creating a branch for 'pftijah' is no problem at all. However, given the experiences I/we have with especially the update branch, we should make very clear, (1) when/of which version of the main trunk the branch is created, (2) how/when to propagate changes from the main trunk to the pftijah branch (preferably not from the pftijah branch to the main trunk, i.e. ALL BUG fixes that also apply to the main trunk MUST be checked in to the main branch (as well)), and (3) who is responsible for maintaining the pftijah branch, propagating changes/bug-fixes from the main trunk to the pftijah branch and testing(!) the pftijah branch. About (1): I guess, you prefer ASAP, hence waiting for the release that we plan for end of January is no option, right? This in turn means that all changes of the update branch, which will be merged into the main trunk before the release (I guess just after new year), then also have to be merged into the pftijah branch... About (2) & (3): Well, I have some experiences and script for the propagation which I'm more than willing to share with who ever becomes the maintainer of the pftijah branch --- surely not me ;-) Let me know, what you think about this ... Greetings from --- well, doesn't matter ;-) Stefan On Fri, Dec 02, 2005 at 09:03:27AM +0100, Jan Flokstra wrote:
