From: Jim Evins Date: Tue, 6 Oct 2009 02:36:38 +0000 (-0400) Subject: Adding MAINTAINERS and HACKING files. X-Git-Tag: glabels-2_3_0~176 X-Git-Url: https://git.sur5r.net/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=a869e748bc106014e98749786471aef0198725ef;p=glabels Adding MAINTAINERS and HACKING files. Added MAINTAINERS and HACKING files. Updated glabels.doap to reconcile with new MAINTAINERS file. Updated TODO file bringing up-to-date with the current roadmap. --- diff --git a/HACKING b/HACKING new file mode 100755 index 00000000..bff87877 --- /dev/null +++ b/HACKING @@ -0,0 +1,62 @@ +=============================================================================== + +Do NOT commit to this module without permission from a maintainer; +see the MAINTAINERS file for who they are.

A branch represents a series of releases with a +fixed major and minor version. The minor version will be an even +number for a stable branch and will be an odd number for a development +branch. For example the "2.2.5" release would be from a stable branch +and "2.3.5" would be a development release. + +Stable branch +------------- + +Some characteristics of a stable branch: + +- Prerequisites are fixed for the lifetime of the branch. +- The primary purpose of releases within a branch is to fix bugs. +- Besides bug fixes, releases may also include new and updated translations, + updated documentation, and new label templates. +- Generally, no new features will be introduced by a release within a + stable branch unless it is necessary to fix a bug. Such a fix should not + introduce new prerequisites. +- Nor will code be refactored unless it is necessary to fix a bug. +- The Git branch will be named glabels_major_minor. E.g. "glabels_2_2". + +Unstable/development branch +--------------------------- + +Some characteristics of a development branch: + +- Prerequisites are volatile and may change release to release. +- The primary purpose of releases is to introduce new features and + get them in the hands of testers. +- Features and file formats may be volatile and change release to + release. +- No attempt will be made to maintain backwards compatibility with + development releases. +- The development branch is maintained in the Git master branch. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/MAINTAINERS b/MAINTAINERS new file mode 100755 index 00000000..5a1792f3 --- /dev/null +++ b/MAINTAINERS @@ -0,0 +1,7 @@ +Jim Evins +E-mail: evins snaught.com +Userid: jimevins + +Mario Blättermann +E-mail: mariobl gnome.org +Userid: mariobl diff --git a/TODO b/TODO index e5d4bfeb..4cc5e796 100644 --- a/TODO +++ b/TODO @@ -1,47 +1,71 @@ Development plan ---------------- -This development plan sets a specific set of milestones for future versions of glabels. +This development plan sets a specific set of milestones for future versions +of glabels.
