Re: [Liberty-eiffel] ET plan

Hi,

For adler we needed to branch early because there were things to *remove*

But I agree it would be simple to work only in master.

We'll see how things turn out once adler is out.

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
