- <p>Within the CVS repository, there are modules and branches. As
- mentioned, the sources are in the <tt class="LITERAL">current</tt>
- <span class="QUOTE">"module"</span>. Other modules are present for
- platform specific issues. There is a webview of the CVS hierarchy at
- <a href="http://ijbswa.cvs.sourceforge.net/ijbswa/" target=
- "_top">http://ijbswa.cvs.sourceforge.net/ijbswa/</a>, which might help
- with visualizing how these pieces fit together.</p>
-
- <p>Branches are used to fork a sub-development path from the main
- trunk. Within the <tt class="LITERAL">current</tt> module where the
- sources are, there is always at least one <span class=
- "QUOTE">"branch"</span> from the main trunk devoted to a stable release
- series. The main trunk is where active development takes place for the
- next stable series (e.g. 3.2.x). So just prior to each stable series
- (e.g. 3.0.x), a branch is created just for stable series releases (e.g.
- 3.0.0 -> 3.0.1 -> 3.0.2, etc). Once the initial stable release of
- any stable branch has taken place, this branch is <span class=
- "emphasis EMPHASIS c2">only used for bugfixes</span>, which have had
- prior testing before being committed to CVS. (See <a href=
- "newrelease.html#VERSIONNUMBERS">Version Numbers</a> below for details
- on versioning.)</p>
-
- <p>At one time there were two distinct branches: stable and unstable.
- The more drastic changes were to be in the unstable branch. These
- branches have now been merged to minimize time and effort of
- maintaining two branches.</p>
