From kde-devel Thu Oct 19 14:43:18 2000 From: Matthias Elter Date: Thu, 19 Oct 2000 14:43:18 +0000 To: kde-devel Subject: HEAD openend X-MARC-Message: https://marc.info/?l=kde-devel&m=97196654823893 Hi I have created a KDE_2_0_BRANCH branch for kdeadmin, kdebase, kdegames,=20 kdegraphics, kdelibs, kdemultimedia, kdenetwork, kdepim, kdesupport,=20 kdetoys, kdeutils, kdoc, koffice and kde-i18n. HEAD is now open for feature commits. But before you start, read the=20 following instructions. Please take these rules serious, as we all want t= o=20 get 2.0.1 and 2.1 releases out as fast as possible. As of now we have two CVS branches. HEAD, intended for KDE 2.1 developeme= nt=20 and KDE_2_0_BRANCH intended for citical bugfixes which will be released a= s=20 KDE 2.0.1. The goal for the 2.0.1 release is to give the translators and documentati= on=20 writers a chance to finish their work of translating and documenting the = KDE=20 2.0 applications. It is cirtical for their work that no message strings a= re=20 changed in the KDE_2_0_BRANCH branch. Fixing critical bugs and closing=20 security holes is also a goal of the 2.0.1 release. As we aim for iterative and more frequent releases from now on, KDE 2.1 i= s=20 scheduled for March 2001 and will contain kdelibs&kdebase only. The other= =20 packages will be released seperately and potentially more often than the = base=20 system. HEAD: ----- - checkout with: cvs -z6 co -P - open for feature commits - open for message string changes - kdelibs and kdebase will be released as 2.1 in March 2001 KDE_2_0_BRANCH: --------------- - checkout with: cvs -z6 co -P -r KDE_2_0_BRANCH - bug fixes only - no message string changes unless you get permission from kde-i18n-doc - will be released as 2.0.1 in about 4 weeks from now - will be closed after the 2.0.1 release Bugfixes that are commited into KDE_2_0_BRANCH _have_ to be ported to HEA= D as=20 well. Fixes that go into HEAD _should_ be backported to KDE_2_0_BRANCH if= you=20 as the maintainer of app XYZ think it is important. Bye, Matthias P.S.: David Faure was kind enough to take over the time consuming release= =20 dude job for the next few releases after 2.0. Please contact him instead = of=20 me now for 2.0.1 and 2.1 release questions. Thanks David. :-) =20 -- Matthias Elter me@kde.org me@caldera.de >> Visit http://master.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-devel#unsub to unsubscribe <<
