so this has been bugging me for a while, and maybe this was discussed
and i missed it so sorry if this is old news, but heres a problem im
noticing: theres a bug in a spell, and its in test. So we fix the bug
and apply it to the devel grimoire, then a week later it trickles down
to test, then to stable...that doesnt make test very easy to test and
stable very stable if a bug managed to slip by.
Heres a real life example: theres a problem with the db spell such
that it wants libdb-4.0.so, but since we are using 4.1.25 everywhere,
it doesnt make that file, some software still wants it for whatever
reason, so if you symlink libdb.so to libdb-4.0.so everything magically
works. Now i could add one line of code to the BUILD file in the _devel_
grimoire. But the newbie that is having the problem is running test
because he wants things to be more stable. except this bug fix doesnt
really do anything until changes trickle down into test.
Heres what i think we should do:
devel is reserved for: new spells, enhancements and bug fixes
test is allowed to have bug fixes applied to it at the same time as
fixes are applied to devel
stable ??? maybe we ought to allow minor fixes to transfer through?
flames are welcome.
just my 2 cents.
