Paul:
I agree - but do we need to create a release branch in advance of the release? Any development in the 6.4 branch at present is intended for
the 6.4.0 release anyway; it's not as if we need to branch off the
release to allow development to continue in the devel branch, as all
new development is going on in trunk.

I think to avoid having three separate branches (6.4 dev, 6.4 release
and 7.0 dev/trunk) it would be best to only create the release
branch immediately before 6.4.0 is tagged.

I think Paul is right, create 6.4.0 release branch moments before 6.4.0rc1,
otherwise there is more backporting to do, which is a pain.

or is the idea to release rc1 in the next days?

I think that is the idea. It took 6 months to get from 6.3RC1 to 6.3 release, so if we would like to see GRASS64 out by the end of the year the 6.3RC1

oops - I meant GASS64RC1

is overdue by now. It would be much simpler if we had only GRASS64 and GRASS7 -
currently there is 6.2, 6.3, 6.4 and 7 on the download site.

I had some things I wanted to get done before 6.4.0-final, I added/
commented on a couple in the trac system yesterday, and I'll add a few
more as I can remember them ;)
