My mistake. I was basing my reply on Colin's message: * Colin Watson <cjwat...@debian.org> [250126 15:35]: > Currently, there's only one place where DEP-14 talks about the default > branch: the "Native packages" section says "the default branch of the > repository (as pointed by the HEAD reference) should be a development > branch". I suggest that this recommendation should not be just for > native packages. The "For development releases" section should say that > the branch for uploads to the current development release of the > furthest-upstream distribution handled in a given repository (typically > Debian) should be the default branch, as pointed to by the HEAD > reference. That doesn't nullify my (or Colin's) request to change the requirement for a specific branch _name_ to only be a suggestion for new projects. This would avoid the unnecessary, massive churn of renaming branches for existing projects (and GNOME, apparently, has already done this once for this DEP). ...Marvin
