So I think I did it.
- The trunk of the XEmacs module now contains the current development
code taken off the release-21-2 branch. It presumably will turn
into the 21.5 series soon.
- For your updating pleasure, the following branches are now
available:
* release-21-1 is Vin Shelton's branch for future releases in the 21.1
series.
* release-21-4 is Stephen Turnbull's branch for future releases in the
21.4 releases.
I've named the branchpoints release-21-1-bp and release-21-4-bp. This
was prior to the current discussion, and there's no political
motivation behind not naming them differently. Their names are
trivial to change via cvs rtag. These are your branches, Vin and
Stephen: feel free to do so; if anyone gets pissed about this, it
won't be me.
If you have a current checkout along the release-21-2 series, and you
want to stay current, I recommend you do the following:
- Back up your local checkout.
- Do a regular "cvs update".
- Do "cvs update -A" which will reset the release-21-2 sticky tag. At
least for me, it did preserve my local changes.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
- The only person who checks into release-21-1 should be Vin.
- The only person who checks into release-21-4 should be Stephen.
- The release-21-2 branch is now deprecated (especially now that a
21.2 release will never happen). Don't commit to it. Your changes
will effectively be lost.
- I had originally planned to be finished by this afternoon, 4PM UTC.
Since it's somewhat earlier than that, I suggest some of the folks
who read this try out updating from the new setup, and send me
private email about their experience. I suggest nobody checks in
anything until 4PM, at which time I'll send another message about
the success or failure of the undertaking.
