[[ first off, I don't appreciate the private developer@ mail being posted to -stable. It doesn't matter in this case, but I want to make a point of grumping about it so you and others don't do it again in the future. ]] In message <f0433013ab70946137883@[10.0.1.100]> Doug Hardie writes: : At 20:22 -0600 4/22/01, Warner Losh wrote: : >In message <20010422142747.B90395@ringworld.oblivion.bg> Peter : >Pentchev writes: : >: Yes, this is exactly the idea of this branch - critical fixes only. : > : >And if you aren't the security officer or the release engineer, the : >branch is stricktly off limits. : : I think this statement needs some clarification. Why maintain a : branch if no one is to use it? The converse of my statement is that the release engineer and security officer will make commits to this branch. My original statement would make more sense if I added "for commits" to the end of it. The branch will be used for critical security fixes only. If you are thinking about making a commit to this branch and you aren't RE or SO, don't. It must be done by the release engineer or the security officer or done with their explicit and sepcific permission.
