Hi,
sorry for not responding so long.
I share the opinion that it is not very useful to maintain ET in
several
branches. And from your options it may be best to have a separate
repo
for ET, but on the other side I'm not sure whether we really have to
create an adler branch before the release and have branch support in
ET.
Is this really worth the effort? Wouldn't it be simpler to have et
always in master and running on masters Liberty code? For a release
it
seems reasonable to me to just let the master branch become stable
and
branch just for the release or even just use a tag. - When we are
stable, we can let ET run and after it "passes" just do a tagged
commit
for a release candidate and/or the release. If we need to add a fix
in
an existing release we can still branch from the tagged commit, do
we?
Cheers,
Rapha

Hi all,
Maintaining ET in both branches is a PITA. I need to git cherry-pick
each time I change a thing.
There are two solutions:
* either a specific branch: not very user-friendly git-wise (because
git pull will do unexpected merges), but contained in the same repo;
* either a specific repository: a bit more complex to setup, but
maybe
simpler in the long term?
What do you think? Do you have better ideas?
Anyway any of that is post-adler.

Forgot to mention: whenever one wants to work already on
features/fixes
for the next release he/she can of course do this in an own branch...

Hi Cyril,
I did not investigate into the failed test cases, but if you think it
is
not worth fixing them for adler I can live with them. In general I
think
if we publish release-candidates we should have them out about 4
weeks,
otherwise I see low chances, that anyone tries it. We have a small
userbase, and I guess most of them have no time to test a RC within a
few days.
BTW, what about the integration of PellesC and the windows setup? - I
think it would be a sign in the right direction, if we officially
publish the linux adler release and a windows installer in more or
less
the same week.
Cheers,
Rapha

Hi,
Since nobody seems inclined to do anything more on Adler, let's
release it and be done.
If nobody raises any objection I'll do it next week (exact date
depending on my available time).
Cheers,
