[Newties-developers] Attic-, testing-, and stable-branches ...

[B.G.W. C. <b.c...@na...>]

Dear all,

Fresh back from a week off, I want to press ahead with some of the issues on my 
TO-DO list. Most notably those relating to branches (see me JISC mailinglist 
emails for more explanation).

Testing and stable branches
I've created two directories to the branches directory in the repository called 
'testing' and 'stable'. In it I've placed a copy of the latest testing version 
of the NTVM-new called 'ntvm-new'. Note that at this time, the version in 
https://www.new-ties.org/svn/newties/branches/stable is identical to the one in
https://www.new-ties.org/svn/newties/branches/testing since I haven't released
(merged) the stable version of the NTVM-new yet.

For those who'll already switched their version of the NTVM-new to
https://www.new-ties.org/svn/newties/branches/ntvm-new-testing (very good!), 
don't worry, it is still there.

I do intend to delete it beginning next week though, so please switch to 
https://www.new-ties.org/svn/newties/branches/stable/ntvm-new or 
https://www.new-ties.org/svn/newties/branches/testing/ntvm-new to avoid errors.

Attic branch
I've also added an 'attic' directory 
(https://www.new-ties.org/svn/newties/branches/attic) to the branches directory 
in the repository and have placed a copy of the obsolete ntvm and platform 
projects into it.

The originals in the trunk (unstable) branch of the repository have not been 
deleted yet. I intend to do this, again, somewhere in the beginning of next 
week. For those who still want to have access to the old ntvm and the platform, 
please switch to https://www.new-ties.org/svn/newties/branches/attic/ntvm or 
https://www.new-ties.org/svn/newties/branches/attic/platform before they are 
retired from the trunk branch.

This will also affect some build-files as well as other integration mechanisms. 
I'm perfectly happy to make the necessary changes there as well but am worried 
that I might forget some of them. If, therefore, you know of some things that 
must be changed because of this, either inform me of then so I can do them, or 
change then afterwards yourself.

Feel free to comment if some of the above is unclear.

Cheers,
Bart
