Development process | ||
=================== | ||
|
||
Developers work in their own trees, then submit pull requests when | ||
they think their feature or bug fix is ready. | ||
|
||
If it is a simple/trivial/non-controversial change, then one of the | ||
bitcoin development team members simply pulls it. | ||
|
||
If it is a more complicated or potentially controversial | ||
change, then the patch submitter will be asked to start a | ||
discussion (if they haven't already) on the mailing list: | ||
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_name=bitcoin-development | ||
|
||
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 Litecoin. | ||
|
||
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From time to time a pull request will become outdated.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'. | ||
