Slavek,
can't we modify the script to build from a given tag instead?
We could use a text file to contain either "master" or the tag name,
then the script will read the config file and checkout the version from
git according to the settings. This way, we can switch between master
and other tags seemlessly and we don't need a separate PPA for building
R14.
No, it is definitely not a good idea to change nightly-builds. First, it
would cause confusion for users who use these apt sources and at the same
time it would be a mess for QuickBuild. QuickBuild assumes that the
version of the package is still increases - if it were in the same PPA
alternated nightly-builds and stable-builds, packages version would jump
up and down - just mess.
Look how it worked now, with v3.5.13-sru branch.
We have basically three groups of users:
1) ordinary users using only stable versions
2) testers for updates stable version - my ppa
3) testers on the edge of development - nightly-builds
Each of these users has set apt sources for the required PPA. It is not
possible to be in 'nightly-builds' alternated packages "testing" and
packages "updates". It would be undesirable for both users and
maintainers.
Therefore, we 'need' new PPA, but the question is 'when'. One possibility
is that the development in the master branch (and nightly-builds) will
continue up to R14.0.0. The second possibility is that the finalization
stable release after RC1 will continue in the new PPA. In this PPA will
then continue maintanance updates.
