whether that's a good idea depends on whom HEAD tries to address. a somewhat logical assumption would be that it's those who didn't bother with (properly) reading the guidelines and policies (which is the majority of (new) contributors). it would be reasonable that those are most likely to contribute fixes, so the beta branch would be a good default. otoh, this leaves a certain risk that somebody clueless does major development against the beta branch, which then imposes a major re-targetting cost. of course, we can just shrug that off as their own problem ... _______________________________________________ Development mailing list [email protected] http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/development
