<div>The branch will be renamed tonight in
preparation for building beta 2. I will make this change start
building beta 2 at 10:00PM EST (UTC -5) so please ensure the auto
tester is not using the release branch in order prevent any
complications when it is renamed. Also just to verify that I am
not causing any additional issues, the tags (aka version numbers)
for the release will be as follows:<br>
<br>
2.65.0-b2<br>
<br>
Obviously, this is another chance but mandatory to resolve issues
with upgrading from installer packages on FreeBSD and Debian OSes.<br>
<br>
Following are the changes I've cherry-picked into the release
branch since beta 1. <br>

I agree, I don't know what's wrong with what we had
before:
<br>
<br>
1. All pull requests get merged to master
<br>
2. Create 2.065 branch
<br>
3. Cherry-pick from master to 2.065 as required
<br>
4. Tag 2.065.whatever as releases get done on that
branch
<br>
<br>
Easy, simple. All these other procedures seem like
massive over-engineering to me.
<br>
<br>
Good to go... I for one did not see either of you weigh in
on the proposal when Brad Roberts

Brad Anderson :P

I decided to use it because, compared to the alternative of
trying to convince volunteers to do
<br>
something they do not want to, it would be much simpler for
me to follow this scheme.
<br>
<br>
<br>
I wish I would have thought to email Brad directly (sorry, Brad)
to make sure he saw it and could
<br>
weigh in. Especially since apart from you he's really the only
other person that needs to change
<br>
anything to adopt this workflow.
<br>
<br>
<br>
To me there is no difference between the two processes,
except the "we've always done it this
<br>
way syndrome". Fixes are generated from release tags into a
hotfix branch. Once the fix is
<br>
released, we merge it back into master, remove the branch
and move on. I am preparing both
<br>
releases and hotpicks so I don't see any extra work being
generated for the devs.
<br>
<br>
The only chance I see on your parts is the need to change
the tester scripts to point search for
<br>
and test "hotfix" and "release" branches if they exist. I'm
not the person doing that so I might
<br>
have an overly simplified view of your processes but I
really don't see the big deal.
<br>
<br>
<br>
If Brad Roberts decides it's too hard for whatever reason we
should be able to just change the
<br>
workflow over to use a versioned branch name and dropping the
step where the branch is deleted. Then
<br>
the hotfix process would just checkout the versioned branch (and
skip the delete as well). I like
<br>
the tag and delete method better but we can't sacrifice the
autotester for that.

The problem is that as specified, _every_ fix requires also
setting up builds in the auto-tester (regardless of who does it).
That should be once per maintained version. Deleting and
recreating is a waste of everyone's time. <br>
<br>
It's not just me that's affected. Anyone who wants to test
releases as they're being built has to carefully track what branch
to use when, which is tedious and a waste of time. <br>
<br>
Also, what if we decide to patch two past releases, does that
happen serially, using the release branch name for each of the
versions one at a time? Also stupid and a waste of time. <br>
<br>
Should I continue or is it obvious now? <br>
