A stable trunk should be an ongoing battle, not something reserved for release time.
There shouldn't be more than a weeks worth of release work required (the release itself is no more than a few hours work). Anything which jeopardises this should be done in a branch. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Release_early,_release_often It's a tried and proven method used in most large open source projects and reactos is no exception Ged.

Three month cycle would be (more/less): - 6 weeks of pure development (and first 4 weeks - release of the x-1 version); - 6 weeks of stabilising trunk, bugfixing, plus some finishing work on features that will be included in this release; Seems awfully short Regards 2010/10/11 Ged Murphy <[email protected]> We tried it at the wrong time, trunk wasn't ready for it. If you go back over the previous discussions we had on the topic a few years ago, you'll see that what was discussed makes good development sense. Ged.
