====== Разработка ядра XFCE и порядок выпуска ====== Авторы: * Jannis Pohlmann * Stephan Arts ===== Введение ===== In the past the same questions and discussions have come up over and over again whenever a new release was in sight, like: * What are the core components of Xfce? * How often do we want to release and in what fashion (time-based, feature-based)? * Who's in charge of the release process? * What dependency versions do we depend on? * When are feature-freeze, string-freeze, code-freeze and thelike? * How many pre-releases should we do and how do we call them? * What do we use as a replacement for SVN revision versioning with Git? This document intends to answer these questions and aims at defining a policy that we can refer to when planning releases.
