Well, I think it's ok for any committer to commit a fix in an old branch if the thinks it is useful and safe. He might need it for a custom build for example. But releasing an official tarball from a branch is something different which involves more efforts. > > The roadmap > > https://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/roadmap > > does not have 1.10.2. That seems to say that 1.10.2 is not planned. I admit I marked it as closed (could likely be re-opened if needed) without feedback from the community, when seeing that we had 2.0 and 1.11. I don't know a lot of other OSGeo (or non-OSGeo) projects that maintain 2 released branches. So 3... In the past we only maintained 1.(X-1) when the dev version was 1.Xdev. I think it is reasonable to maintain 1.11 for "some time" as a special exception, as the transition to 2.0 will probably take more time. > Maybe that should be told to the packagers somehow. I think most packagers when seeing a 1.11 being released and maintained don't have too much expectations on 1.10. -- Spatialys - Geospatial professional services http://www.spatialys.com _______________________________________________ gdal-dev mailing list gdal-dev@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/gdal-dev
