Hi All,
Here's the plan going forward:
* I do want a stable/unstable branch/release arrangement going forward.
* I do not want to use CVS to maintain this though.
* So, I am going to go ahead and setup a git repository as the official
repository of gEDA/gaf.
* But, for those diehard CVS fans out there, I will run a git-cvsserver
which will does CVS as the frontend and git as the backend.
(http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-cvsserver.html)
* CVS HEAD development can continue going forward as is (at least until
we transition over to this stable/unstable arrangement).
* The stable branch:
* The stable branch will be based off 20070526 and will support
guile-1.6.x and guile-1.8.x.
* Stable releases will be called 1.0-RELEASEDATE.
* Stable branch checkins will be limited to bug fixes and _minor_
functional improvements/fixes.
* Unstable branches:
* The unstable branches will support guile-1.8.x only.
I successfully built and tested guile-1.8.x and its Dependencies
on RedHat 7.2 this morning.
* Unstable releases will be called 1.1-RELEASEDATE.
* The checkin policy for the unstable branch checkins hasn't
been decided yet.
* All of this will run on a different server (not at SEUL).
* I plan on working on this during the next code sprint (next week!) and
it won't be implemented until after the code sprint completes.
