Let's not make a branch until 1.0 is actually out and we are making 1.0.x releases. It's confusing since at the moment, the trunk is not getting any activity. It's not the main trunk of development. Some people have already come to the list confused about where to get the code with fixes to the bugs they've reported. The branches are getting too far diverged at the moment. It's going to be hell merging them, and we are going to lose the revision history when we do merge. The revision messages won't be joined with the the changes they talk about. In point of example, Python development for a 2.x version goes on the trunk until the actual release of 2.x. Then a 2.x branch is created for maintainings 2.x.y and the trunk develops for 2.x+1. We aren't going to be working on 1.1 until 1.0 is actually out the door. -- Robert Kern "I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth." -- Umberto Eco ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
