    • Property Summary changed from Move to branches for versions to Create branch ultrastable
  • Ticket #508 – Description

    initial v2  
    1 * Start with stable branch deprecated. 
    2 * Keep metastable for the time being 
    3 * Complete procedure doc related to branching 
     1 * Create a branch named ultrastable that represents latest version of 1.0 ''as found on dgu'' 
     2  * Going forward ultrastable will act as stable - 1 (and either ultrastable or stable will be on the rock-solid production systems such as dgu) 
     3 * Do '''not''' deprecate the stable or metastable branch for the present 
     4 * Ask for recommendations on mailing list about best practice for branching (e.g. versioned based versus a simple HEAD versus stable) and how this affects standard operations such as applying bugfixes. 
     5  * For useful discussion of how to do backporting and applying bugfix patches see: http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0374/#backport 
     6  * NB: in general do '''not''' always have to apply in stable/ultrastable and merge upwards for bugfixes -- can use transplant extension as well.
