Development branches

1. Introduction

This document lists the development branches for the Memory Pool System project. Development branches are branches that don't have a formally defined purpose (unlike, say, version branches). (See [RB 2000-09-05] for the decision on the location and naming of these branches for the P4DTI project, which we will continue to follow here.)

This document will be modified as new branches are created.

The readership of this document is anyone interested in the project.

This document is not confidential. However, almost all of the branches referenced from this document are Ravenbrook company confidential and these cannot be accessed from outside the Ravenbrook domain. At present the only development branch which is not confidential is the open-source preparation branch.

2. Historical branches

The branches listed in this section predate our acquisition of the MPS on 2001-08-13. They were derived from the HOPE/RCS hierarchy by the procedure described in [NDL 2001-08-15].

The trunk branch was integrated into master sources on 2001-10-31 by changelist 23678.

See section 3 for development branches which postdate our acquisition of the MPS.
