What are the next steps ? If I understand correctly, the 1_34_0 branch should now be copied to, say, 'stable', such that in regular intervals things can be merged in from the trunk. Am I reading the suggested procedure correctly ? (And then, at some point, 'stable' can be branched to '1_35', etc....)
That is my understanding, although IIRC, the last discussion ended up with, "We can finalize the new procedure later, once we have moved to Subversion." Personally, I'd like to see us find a good way to turn "stable" into an actual release branch of "trunk", with the appropriate svmerge.py tags to make it easy to keep it up-to-date. The trunk/stable divergence is really bad for future development.
Has there been any progress on these questions ? There is no 'stable' branch right now (no matter the spelling), so people don't know what reference code to take if they want to set up a development branch, or to merge 'new' (accepted, but not yet released) libraries in. Pleeaase ! (Any decision is better than no decision...) (Also, somewhat unrelated, http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/roadmap indicates the 1.34.1 release as open and '3 months late', and there is no place discussing what to expect from 1.35 in terms of new features, additional libraries, etc.) Thanks, Stefan -- ...ich hab' noch einen Koffer in Berlin...
