Wesnoth's 1.14 oldstable branch

[loonycyborg]

Wesnoth's stable branch currently is 1.18 yet it's impossible to add 1.16 since custom branches aren't supported anymore. But there still exists 1.14 oldstable branch which probably should be removed for consistency.

$ flatpak --user remote-ls flathub | grep wesnoth
Битва за Веснот org.wesnoth.Wesnoth     1.14.17 1.14
Битва за Веснот org.wesnoth.Wesnoth     1.18.0  stable

branch/foo was always reserved for baseapps and extensions. This started being enforced recently.

I cannot tell what this means. Will the 1.14 branch get deleted at some point?

Will the 1.14 branch get deleted at some point?

It will, the version that is published on that branch needs to be removed from the Flathub repository first. Then we can delete the Git branch.

I cannot tell what this means.

It means applications were not supposed to use branches branch/foo branches on Github. This was allowed previously but not any longer.

It seems that I also can't remove branch/foo branches from org.wesnoth.Wesnoth github repo because of branch protection rules.
