for each release. That way, if we have a security fix for 4.6.2 we can<br>
go to MAINT_4_6_2 and perform the work there. I think this is overkill<br>
-- for instance, we haven't done a patch-level security release on 4.6.0<br>
or 4.6.1.<br>
<br>
If we need to do a security release, we can create the MAINT branch later:<br>
<br>
git checkout RELEASE_4_6_2<br>
git checkout -b MAINT_4_6_2<br>
<br>
I'm proposing that we stop creating MAINT branches for each release.<br>
This isn't something I feel particularly strongly about, so I could be<br>
convinced to withdraw my proposal, but I don't see much value in<br>
maintaining MAINT branches we aren't using.<br>
<br>
A side-effect of this is that currently, the demo server has STABLE,<br>
QA_4_6, and MAINT_4_6_2 [1]; QA_4_6 will change until our next release<br>
and STABLE and MAINT_4_6_2 will remain the same unless we need to<br>
release a 4.6.2.1, in which case both would be updated. For the demo<br>
server, I may be missing a scenario but don't see how the current MAINT<br>
and STABLE would differ, meaning we can remove MAINT from there as well.<br>
<br>
1 - technically, the demo server currently has MAINT_4_6_1, but based on<br>
response to this thread I'll update it soon.<br>
