| 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. |
