Or to put it another way, I think the main improvement to aim for over the current system is that we have a stable branch where bugs can be and will be patched, but significant changes will not occur (as opposed to trying to create a particular stage that has significantly fewer bugs than normal, because we haven't had much luck with trying that as everyone always has too many other things to do).

And now seems as good a time as any. So shall we have our first mini-release by next week? In practice, that would mean that we branch in git. I would then encourage people who only update IMP occasionally to update to that branch. Patches would be moved to the release branch on a more or less as-needed basis, or if it is something that is a simple bug to fix. >>> >>> Sounds worth a try? >>> >>> See https://github.com/salilab/imp/issues/256 for more context. >>> >>> >>> On Apr 10, 2013, at 7:15 AM, Daniel Russel drussel@gmail.com wrote: >>> >>>> https://github.com/salilab/imp/issues/256 >>> >>> >>> _______________________________________________ >>> IMP-dev mailing list >>> IMP-dev@salilab.org >>> https://salilab.org/mailman/listinfo/imp-dev >> >> _______________________________________________ >> IMP-dev mailing list >> IMP-dev@salilab.org >> https://salilab.org/mailman/listinfo/imp-dev >
