Whatever is then in devel makes it.

Tools

Buildbot

is online
slaves esp 64-bit and win32 wanted
- nano believes he can provide one at work soon.
- mingw easy to setup if master.cfg available
continue off-meeting

g.x.s/merge

code at git.0x63.nu
Anders has stuff for replacement and is already implementing it, will write down his plans.
theefer looks at for other review stuff
updater currently runs out of anders' cron, so patches need to go through him.
nano will help out with g.x.s/merge

Mantis-auto-rebasing-thing

request for thing to automatically import patches from mantis into a special git tree.
rebased every time devel changes (if fails: bugnote)
theefer looks at mantis api for auto-rebaser (actually there is no sane way to access mantis remotely /theefer)
nano will help out with auto-rebaser

Mh I didn't understand the "rebased every time devel changes" part that way, but in any case, a working prototype in Ruby for fetching a patch from Mantis and applying it on a new local Git branch is available in the xmms2tools repository. --Theefer 01:29, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

tru does organizing.

Merging of big features

Anders:
- code should be divided in small bits. If necessary history can be rewritten (as I (nesciens) understand it).
- waf-stuff can be merge is as a whole (because it is an external project)
- stuff should hit devel early (even if it means a little less review)
- no non-devel reference branch should be necessary
- Anders looks at g.x.s/merge daily on workdays. Small stuff is reviewed immediately.
- Buildbot makes Anders a bit more sloppy.
