Dear MXE team,
I'd like to hear some opinions on the stable branch. It is so
outdated that I doubt anyone uses it. On the other hand, our website
still recommends the stable branch. Also, the website itself is
generated from the stable branch.
So we have to do something about it. I see the following options:
1) Re-establish the testing phases and make regular releases
This is what we always wanted to to, but ran out of people having
time for that. Open questions:
- Is it worth the effort?
- Any volunteers?
- How to we ensure that this will continue reliably?
- Which interval? (each month, every 3 months, every 6 months)
2) Update the stable branch, but update it automatically
We could create an automated test suite, building upon the tests we
already have. Each commit triggers a rebuild and runs the tests.
If it succeeds, stable is fast-forwarded to the current master.
The website (gh-pages) follows stable as usual. Open questions:
- Is it worth the effort?
- Any volunteers?
3) Remove the stable branch
Don't mention it in the docs anymore, use only master, and generate
the website (gh-pages) follows master instead of stable.
Opinions and volunteers welcome!
Regards,
Volker
