Re: branching in packages?

Ilya> Often the only thing read after upstream cvs update is new Ilya> change log text. Better put this notice in change log. Semantic content: "I don't feel like reading the patch discussion, so put information that belongs with the patch discussion in text that I do read." Deserves no response. And elsewhere: Ilya> My experience is that I will just end up with the same Ilya> broken version promoted to stable and causing the same Ilya> grief. That's always a risk. There's nothing (that involves reasonable levels of effort) we can do about that risk and still put new code into circulation. You can't have both new code and stability---and that's your choice to make. XEmacs does not force you to upgrade packages. I think it's time to stop running in circles.
