Hi Jendrik,

Right... :-)

Currently rednotebook VCS uses master for all test builds. This is
awkward to prepare rednotebook for Debian inclusion thus then inclusion
in Ubuntu. Ideally...

master branch is for latest Debian/Ubuntu sources that uses all the
latest compat and other packaging settings. This would make submission
to Debian (sid/unstable, where all new packages and new versions go)
easier.

stable branch would be the one that has all backward compat for Debian
stable and the Ubuntu LTS versions you wish to support. This branch
would be committed to directly and rarely change; and would only be
updated with fully compatible and tested Debian/Ubuntu packaging
changes.

Doing the above makes life easier, knowing that master branch is
bleeding edge and stable is highly compatible for builds on already in
production systems that currently would not get rednotebook inclusion.
In time this would change when rednotebook is accepted into both the
Debian/Ubuntu archives, matures and is part of the archive at distro
release time.

Thoughts?

Regards

Phil
