Hi, This is a Request For Clarification regarding http://qt-project.org/wiki/Branch-Guidelines -> Permanent Regime/2
The definition of the branches at the top of the page only talks about the quality of the code, not what kind of changes are acceptable. The only indication for what is acceptable for submission to 'stable' is the text boxes in the graphics under point 2 of section Permanent Regime: "non-destabilising bugfixes". For me, by definition, any bug-fix targets to be stablising; to distinguish stablising and destabilising bugfixes thus requires the art of precognition, which I sadly lack... On IRC, we see opinions ranging from 'regression-only fixes' to 'basically any bug fix, as long as it doesn't violate the BC and string freeze that 'stable' is under'. So can we get a more concrete indication of what it acceptable in 'stable', please? Case in point is the following, btw: https://codereview.qt-project.org/41507 Thanks, Marc -- Marc Mutz <[email protected]> | Senior Software Engineer KDAB (Deutschland) GmbH & Co.KG, a KDAB Group Company www.kdab.com || Germany +49-30-521325470 || Sweden (HQ) +46-563-540090 KDAB - Qt Experts - Platform-Independent Software Solutions _______________________________________________ Development mailing list [email protected] http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/development
