Announcement: "stable" branches for multipath-tools

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



All,

the multipath-tools maintainers have decided to start providing stable
branches that accumulate bug fix patches only. We currently provide two
branches, stable-0.10.y [1] and stable-0.11.y [2]. 

The stable branches are meant as a guideline for distribution
maintainers to pick bug fixes without major regression risk. Only small
patches that fix actual problems are eligible for inclusion in the
stable trees.

This is a best-effort endeavor that doesn't come with any guarantees.
The maintainers will provide maximum two stable branches at any point
in time. They will usually be based on the previous two .0 releases,
but this isn't set in stone.

The introduction of the stable branches goes along with a modified
versioning scheme for the "master" branch. The development tree is
still hosted at [3]. As before, this tree will be "released" to the
opensvc "master" branch [4] in roughly quaterly intervals, to become
the next 0.x.0 release (0.12.0 will be next).

Best regards
Martin
