Re: [POLL] Use Unstable Branch

2012-08-08 Thread Justin Mclean
Hi, Anything but option 1 from me. Option 1 as suggested by Alex to use a single unstable branch is not considered best practice. Apache's SVN own docs (http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/subversion/trunk/doc/user/svn-best-practices.html) give three options: 1. Never branch and work in trunk 2.

What exactly does 'for now' mean in the option 1? Is it in terms of time or releases? If we are not clear about this, we are only creating conflicts and confusions for us down the road. I want to support option 1 until everyone has a reasonable understanding of the complexity of the codebase. O

1. And I think it's very important to get to the point where we have a test suite that we can use to ensure that trunk is ready-to-ship at all times. - Gordon -Original Message- From: Alex Harui [mailto:aha...@adobe.com] Sent: Wednesday, August 08, 2012 8:33 AM To: flex-dev@incubator.

The way I've used SVN before is to make the trunk the "unstable" development and then branch off "stable" versions. Means you always have a latest stable branch you can maintain / apply patches, while the trunk forges ahead. Branch another version off the trunk when it has progressed, then work on
