They are daily builds from different branches. 6-0 is showing the
current state of whatever the next 6.0.x version will be. Master is
showing the next major version, 6.1 in this case. They are called
"daily", because the building is supposed to be automated.
The builds can be interrupted for various reasons, including physical
damage, like a failed CPU fan or some other component. Then there is the
constant maintenance of the build environment. Sometimes tests only
break on a certain platform. Anything can, and will, go wrong without
warning.
So keeping those boxes running requires a certain amount of time
investment, which is sometimes not immediately possible. We have not had
a Windows debug build in 5 months (this is a volunteer-run box).
Thanks, that pretty much answers all my questions. What started this
line of questioning was that I'd received an email from Bugzilla saying
that a bug I'd reported had been fixed, that it should show up in the
daily build in the next 24-48 hours, and I should verify it had indeed
been fixed. I later realized, because of similar unrelated emails I
received later, that that was probably an automatically generated
notification and the system actually didn't know when a build (for the
version I was interested in) would be made. It looks like such a build
has not yet been run, for either 6.0.x or 6.1 Mac version, for about a
week. And that's just the way it is, and not something to be concerned
about particularly.
