Yes, and yes. Right now in the repository root we have: /trunk - The repository everyone should be using for development. /trunk-0.99.2 - What will eventually be Wireshark 0.99.2. /prerelease - Past prereleases. /releases - Past releases. /trunk-0.99.2 was copied from /trunk last week. Once the 0.99.2 release is made it will be moved to /releases/wireshark-0.99.2. Some time in the future we'll start over again by copying /trunk to /trunk-0.99.3. /trunk is (very) liquid. /trunk-0.99.2 is semi-frozen. It only receives bug fixes from /trunk before the release. /prerelease and /releases can be considered frozen. > If not, should the trunks be "trunk-1.0-stable" etc ?

Fixes and updates should go in /trunk, and a release will be created some time later. Once 1.0 is released, we'll probably leave /trunk-1.0 in place so that bug fix releases can be created. > Should patches (for whatever maintenance regime is used) by the non-core > team be produced as patches against the main trunk only, or all trunks - > i.e. is the maintenance also community-driven or by the core developers > taking decisions about which patches to apply to the non-main trunk(s) ? They should be made against the trunk. If any backporting is required, we'll take care of it.
