If there's no further discussion or action taken, it would
seem that
we're choosing the option number 2 that I described in my
previous
e-mail. Just to recap:
1. Merge 0.6.1-type changes back to trunk so trunk gets the
new
functionality, but *still do the release from the 0.6
branch.* This
would mean that trunk can still have significant changes
made to it, and
QA is done to a branch that has already been stabilized.
Major dev work
can still be done on trunk.
2. Don't touch trunk after major releases (Like Nigel's Les
Paul), since
we may have to base point releases on the state of trunk
right after the
release. All new development and non-point-release bugfixes
would have
to go in private branches. Those branches would have to be
kept in sync
with the trunk, and stuff in them would be selectively
merged to trunk
when they're going into a release.
To quote our geek forefathers, "If you choose not to
decide / You still
have made a choice."
There is some major refactoring associated with some of my
bugs (ex.
8491, 7767, 8613), and I'm trying to think ahead to avoid
manual
conflict resolutions later.
Thanks.
