[lwip-devel] devel vs stable cvs

[Jani Monoses]

Hi all

I wonder whether a more conventional model of CVS/release wouldn't be more 
appopriate for lwip, seeing that people don't really test devel if they have 
another CVS branch.
While many people _do_ tend to keep up with CVS.
I recall the original reason for devel was that Leon did some potentially 
invasive changes so he made a separate branch for them. I still think when 
something as big happens a branch is welcome to avoid unnecessary trouble but 
for most work which has been goin on lately in devel and because it happened at 
a slow speed - a few commits a week people could be a lot more helpful provding 
feedback on regressions the moment they appear. We already got two such 
regressions and devel was only recently been merged
Also the tcp_pcb->ack list bug Karl Jeacle noticed was on devel hence it did 
not bother people for months showning that CVS stable is preffered.
What do you think?

Not to mention the confusions merging, and those weird version numbers cause in 
CVS.
When savannah will provide something better in this regard like subversion or 
arch this will change but this is not the main point.
I really think that dosing the changes and people catching up with them one by 
one instead of all at once is going to be better.
