[Oliver Rauch]<br>
<i>&gt; I think we should make more CVS snapshots and put a link from the</i><br>
<i>&gt; sane homepage to the current stable CVS snapshot.</i><br>
<p>
That would be a good idea. My page with into on how to get the CVS<br>
tree should also be moved to the SANE homepage. If I knew there was<br>
interest, I could make daily or weekly snapshots available from my web<br>
page.<br>
<p>
<i>&gt; But I am not sure if all backend authors do use sane CVS. It is</i><br>
<i>&gt; important that every backend is up to date in the CVS or is made up</i><br>
<i>&gt; to date at least once a month if there have been any important</i><br>
<i>&gt; changes.</i><br>
<p>
Currently you, me, David and Kevin Charter has write access to the CVS<br>
tree. I believe all backend maintainers should have write access to<br>
the tree, to keep their backend up to date.<br>
<p>
Some days ago, when I found time to look at SANE again, I scanned thru<br>
the mailing list, and included the latest backend versions I found<br>
announced there. I probably missed some, but I hope the next snapshot<br>
will contain most of the updated backends.<br>
<p>
This is then a call to all maintainers to let me know if I forgot<br>
their backend when updating. Check the ChangeLog, and send me an<br>
email if you want your backend updated.<br>
<p>
<i>&gt; We should call out an "keep the CVS code up to date"-phase now and</i><br>
<i>&gt; some weeks later we should call a "test the CVS version"-phase.</i><br>
<i>&gt; Some more weeks later we should call a "code freeze - only</i><br>
<i>&gt; bugfixes"-phase. Then we can use CVS to get a new, STABLE version!</i><br>
<p>
Good idea. I'm working on it.<br>
<p>
To make sure everyone understands how this works, I'll try to outline<br>
how and when I will change the CVS tree. The punchline is : I will<br>
not change backends. All backend updates (except dll and net) must be<br>
sent to the backend maintainer, which will review the patch and<br>
possibly take it. If the backend maintainer releases a new backend or<br>
want me to update the tree, I will update tree. dll and net are<br>
special as there is no current maintainer. I will review the patch<br>
and commit it if I like it. :-)<br>
<p>
For all the other code, I will update if I am pretty sure the change<br>
not breaks something else, or if it is a bugfix. All changes to the<br>
logic or API must be approved by discussions on this list, and I<br>
expect such changes to be done by David directly.<br>
<p>
All patches must include a ChangeLog. No ChangeLog -&gt; no CVS update<br>
(unless it fixes some of my problems with SANE - as usual :-).<br>
<p>
All this should be common sense. :-)<br>
