Development process
|
|
===========================
|
|
|
|
Developers work in their own trees, then submit pull requests when
|
|
they think their feature or bug fix is ready.
|
|
|
|
The patch will be accepted if there is broad consensus that it is a
|
|
good thing. Developers should expect to rework and resubmit patches
|
|
if they don't match the project's coding conventions (see coding.txt)
|
|
or are controversial.
|
|
|
|
The master branch is regularly built and tested, but is not guaranteed
|
|
to be completely stable. Tags are regularly created to indicate new
|
|
official, stable release versions of NovaCoin.
|
|
|
|
Feature branches are created when there are major new features being
|
|
worked on by several people.
|
|
|
|
From time to time a pull request will become outdated. If this occurs, and
|
|
the pull is no longer automatically mergeable; a comment on the pull will
|
|
be used to issue a warning of closure. The pull will be closed 15 days
|
|
after the warning if action is not taken by the author. Pull requests closed
|
|
in this manner will have their corresponding issue labeled 'stagnant'.
|
|
|
|
Issues with no commits will be given a similar warning, and closed after
|
|
15 days from their last activity. Issues closed in this manner will be
|
|
labeled 'stale'.
