The decision to change is made by agreement of the core developers. There are no changes in the repositories to reflect this. The release page in the wiki will indicate the state. 21 * Features for a master branch should be listed as an enhancement ticket. 22 * A release is the creation of any generated files and the packaging of the source in a repository making the package available as a file. 23 23 * Only the current and previous release branches are active and all other release branches are archived. 24 24 * A release branch is a ''git branch'' pushed to the repositories. 25 25 * A release is a ''git tag'' on a release branch with the tags pushed to the repositories. 26 * An archived release branch cannot be changed. 26 27 27 = RTEMS Release Repositories =28 == RTEMS Release Repositories 28 29 29 30 The following repositories are part of an '''RTEMS''' release: … … 35 36 * The release branches and tags must be consistent across these repositories. 36 37 37 = RTEMS Release Numbering and Naming =38 == RTEMS Release Numbering and Naming 38 39 39 40 The RTEMS Release Number and Naming relates to all repositories and packages released. The version number has three (3) numbers and the numbers are `major.minor.release`. … … 45 46 Release:: The ''release'' version number change for release branch release created on a release branch after the branch has been created. 46 47 47 == RTEMS Branch Labels ==48 === RTEMS Branch Labels 48 49 49 50 The '''RTEMS''' release branches are labelled with a prefix of `RTEMS_` followed by the major release number and minor release delimited with an underscore (`_`) and postfixed with `_BRANCH`. For example the release branch label for RTEMS 4.11 is `RTEMS_4_11_BRANCH`. … … 51 52 A development release is any code taken from the master branch of a repository. 52 53 53 == RTEMS Release 4 Series Numbering ==54 === RTEMS Release 4 Series Numbering 54 55 55 56 Release numbering for the Series 4 releases use the minor release dot number of ''.99'' for development releases. For example the development release numbering for RTEMS 4.11 is ''4.11.99''. This allows testing of any version number related code, processes and procedures to happen with correct minor version number. … … 57 58 The release procedure requires the release's minor dot number to be set '0' before the release branch is created and it is used for the first branch release. Further branch releases increment the minor release number when a branch release is made. 58 59 59 == RTEMS Release 5 Series And Higher Numbering ==60 === RTEMS Release 5 Series And Higher Numbering 60 61 61 62 Release numbering for Series 5 and higher releases use even minor release numbers as development release and odd minor release number for releases. For example RTEMS 5.0 is a development release, that is any code taken from the master branch, and RTEMS 5.1 is an actual '''RTEMS''' release. The minor release dot number stays at ''0'' for all development releases.
