I removed the rgb2lab_local branch now (I decided that this is not the way to go and I have a local copy in my own remote of this). On a related note should be consider removing tags for old release candidates? I know that IPython does this and it does clean up the tags quite a bit since

I am -1 on removing old tags. The _point_ of tags is they don't move. IPython is a younger project, moving much faster, and have an interest in keeping everyone close to the bleeding edge, we don't have that luxury. For a long time debian shipped an rc (1.3.1rc1 iirc) so there is evidence of

Same here. I like the old tags for historical research purposes. Now, if there was a way for github to only display the N most recent tags, I would go for that... On Wed, Nov 5, 2014 at 10:32 AM, Thomas Caswell tcasw...@gmail.com wrote: I am -1 on removing old tags. The _point_ of tags is they

That makes sense. I would consider deleting 1.3.1 which is the same commit as v1.3.1 @Benjamin Github allows highlighting releases at https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/releases which have release notes. Perhaps we should add release notes for releases before 1.4.0 from the change log to

We probably should promote all of the 'major' tags to release + get DOIs for all of the old releases. I can take care of this, but if someone wants to beat me to it, please do :) tom On Wed Nov 05 2014 at 11:32:13 AM Jens Nielsen jenshniel...@gmail.com wrote: That makes sense. I would

Does anyone protest to removing all of the branches from the main repo except: - master - v1.4.x - v1.4.2-doc Having old branches around can lead to confusion (see https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/pull/3748#issuecomment-61372162). Tom

I think this is reasonable. If anything, I *might* want to keep N+1 branches, but that might be too much. On Sat, Nov 1, 2014 at 12:31 PM, Joel B. Mohler j...@kiwistrawberry.us wrote: On 11/01/2014 11:49 AM, Thomas Caswell wrote: Does anyone protest to removing all of the branches from the

This is done now. All of the branches were fully merged except for v1.1.x which had a single line change to contents.rst which ended up on the main branch through other means. I have local branches pointing to all of the removed branches so if there is panic about their removal and _everyone_
