I totally agree with what Mike says here, and I do think that not only Oracle will profit of once-monthly stable branches. If there is something to say against a specific branch, we'll discuss it on the list, and we'll certainly find a solution. regards, Martin On 8/15/06, Adam Winer [EMAIL

Company-specific branches

2006-08-14 Thread Adam Winer
Hey all, For some of our internal, non-open source work here at Oracle, we're heavily depending on Trinidad (yay!). The catch is that, at certain points, we need a stable branch to build off of and apply only limited bug fixes so that internal work never gets destabilized. What I'd like to do

I think basicly that what you want is something like: a branch for a release or a rc, which is also maintained. I think that's fine with Apache, why not? In MyFaces we do a branch for *each* release too, but we are not maintaining the branches *after* the release (which is bad). So the work

In general, yes, we just have a public branch for a release which continues to be maintained, which is a good thing. My concern is that, in this case, the one calling for the branch is not the Trinidad/MyFaces community, but a specific company. Ideally, the two match up and agree, in which case

basicly I think this discussion is out of scope for this community. It's more a *general* thing. Currently there are some more donations by companies (like XFire from Iona). I am not sure how they deal with that. When they (Iona or sb. else) needs a special branch. I am also not sure, what

The simplest answer is to come up with something that is not company-specific, so it doesn't get Apache into non-profit legal trouble, yet addresses these real needs. How about a basic monthly stabilization branch that anyone can pull off of, and has no particular tie to any one company? And a
