Re: [bug-gawk] Fedora Rawhide - testing stable branch?

[David Kaspar [Dee'Kej]]

Hello Arnold,

yes, you were right. I've meant the master branch... :)

After that, I want to leave gawk-4.1-stable alone and focus on development
in master, which I hope will become 4.2.

Once I make a 4.2 release, I'll create a gawk-4.2-stable branch for bug
fixes.  (Lather, rinse, repeat. :-)

​Ah, I see your git workflow now. :)​

 

 

In short, master is likely to not be stable enough for the next year to year
and a half that I'd want it as part of a distribution.

​Thank you, it's good to know that.​

 

I do announce test releases in the gnu-announce list and on comp.lang.awk.
Or we can talk (off list) about adding you to the developer's list so that
you can more closely follow what's happening, but we should talk before
you decide that's what you want to do.

​I guess we can discuss this at IRC? I'm idling at freenode.org (nick: deekej) and at OFTC​.net (nick: dkaspar).

In general, very interested.  But we have to figure out the best way
for this to work for both of us.

​OK, we can discuss this over IRC or via e-mail. :)​

 

​Best regards,

David​
