30 | <p> | |
31 | There has been some discussion on the mailing list of how best to get patches | |
32 | available to users of libraries. This is the understanding I have been using. | |
33 | I posted this and have had no comments on it. | |
34 | </p> | |
35 | <div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="disc"> | |
36 | <li class="listitem"> | |
37 | Maintainers can have write access to the particular library for which | |
38 | they have responsibility. This includes all the branches and in particular | |
39 | both develop and master. | |
40 | </li> | |
41 | <li class="listitem"> | |
42 | It is up to the maintainer to put patches and tests onto develop and | |
43 | see whether there are any remaining problems. | |
44 | </li> | |
45 | <li class="listitem"> | |
46 | It is then up to the maintainer to move the patches and tests from develop | |
47 | to master. | |
48 | <div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="circle"> | |
49 | <li class="listitem"> | |
50 | This does not have to wait for a release of Boost. | |
51 | </li> | |
52 | <li class="listitem"> | |
53 | It can be done any time and at some point master will then become | |
54 | the next release. | |
55 | </li> | |
56 | </ul></div> | |
57 | </li> | |
58 | <li class="listitem"> | |
59 | I do not think that develop is moved to master in any other way. It is | |
60 | the maintainer who will know when that is the correct action. | |
61 | </li> | |
62 | </ul></div> | |
63 | <p> | |
64 | If there is more than one maintainer then any of them can do this. Each will | |
65 | be able to see what has happened from the git log. | |
