If the decision is that the code in gnumach-1-branch is what we should care most about using and releasing, and that this is the code which should be the basis of ongoing development, then it is, de facto, HEAD. Which is what you said.
Right. And if the decision is that, then the bug-fix-only rule _is_ lifted for the code in gnumach-1-branch. In that case, it should be incorporated into HEAD and the existing HEAD be a branch, with a suitable name. I don't see the whole fuss about adding features to gnumach-1-branch, oskit-branch got features added while gnumach-1-branch was HEAD. The only really good reason for swapping branches is that the code in right now HEAD is b0rked, not that gnumach-1-branch is the most cared about. In either case, I really don't care if there is swapping branches, or that someone has to jump on one leg for a week, aslong as one can add featires to the code that is currently known as gnumach-1-branch. If this is not immediately crystal clear, then you shouldn't be making these decisions. It was crystal clear from the beginning, you simply didn't understand me. _______________________________________________ Bug-hurd mailing list Bug-hurd@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-hurd
