Hi,
I am noticing that some of the projects in svn have a "master"
directory while others have the codename for the release of that
distro. This has me wandering what's the preferred way to organize
svn.
Your choice with your distro.
Ark doesn't apply a codename and is doing packages
for it's upcoming
release. The patches in the past with KDE3 would change occaisionally
with each 3.x release (e.g. 3.0 patches probably wouldn't work with
3.4).
Use the year name.
Considering this, I'm thinking maybe have a Master where the most
recent patches and rpm spec go, and copy that over to a release (e.g.
2011.1 for this year, 2012.1 for next year) each time we release.
While I would approve that idea, that is bad if you do not have
automatic update.
Especially when bugfixes and enhancements need to be packaged.
Remember, newer versions of a distro may be different than older
versions of a distro.
