So if I understand this correctly, the policy for APR is to simply put all code changes into TRUNK and each release should bump the minor version number and create a new branch. The only time that there is a patch release is if there is some critical reason for it which in this case would cause

Ok, you have me confused :) There can be no binary breakage between 1.0.0 and 1.99.999. Nothing (except for unreleased changes in our svn repository) as we move forward. Minor bumps introduce new features. Subversion bumps fix bugs. That's the short story. I'm increasing concerned that folks b

Backport and release policy for APR and APR-UTIL...

2004-12-15 Thread Brad Nicholes
What is the backport and release policy for APR and APR-UTIL? I assume that the APR and APR-UTIL projects have adopted the same "RTC/STATUS file voting" policy as the HTTPD project. Assuming that this is true, there appears to be a break down in how this policy functions in the AP
