Morning

After PHP 5.0.0 is now released, are there any plans for opening up HEAD
for not-only-bug-fixes again?
Do we branch (or is it already) PHP_5_0 and allow only bugfixes there
(as with 4.3) and HEAD will become 5.1 later?
Or is HEAD for the being still the "stable" branch until we fixed the
most important bugs? (focusing on this instead of new features ;) )

I have some pending (little9 commits, wich I'd like to add, but they are
certainly new features and not bugfixes...

New features should go to 5.1.x and fixes/small additions to 5.0.1...
but there is no branch yet. I think we need to make one. What about
others?

I think one of the first 5.0.1 fixes should be about this bug:
http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=29132

Many applications broken due to this, I'm not the one who reported it but I've
got stick with this bug on various hosts and applications since one of the
last PHP 5.0.0-dev snapshots.

We can decide that for ourselves, thank you very much.

Thanks to Stefan Esser that seems just fixed this.

If it wasn't clear from my first mail, I'm all for branching now and
applying the same policy as we did for the PHP_4_3 branch (bug fixes only)

To my knowledge it was agreed a long time ago that 5.0 would be released
and branched so we could start committing new code we've been sitting on
for months already. I'm all for branching to and just fixing bugs for
5.0

You mean we haven't created a branch for 5.0 ??
Let's do it ASAP; I noticed a few changes since the release... what
happened to the release process??

Let's branch PHP_5_0 and make HEAD 5.1-dev.

I would say to wait 2 or 3 weeks.
This time is not critical for the code that is laying aside for months.
In my opinion the bug system will start to fill up with new bugs in
the next days or 2-3 weeks. Some percentage of these bugs will be
easy to fix. If the branch happens now, a bug hunter has to merge
at least to 2 branches if not 3. So lets wait for 2-3 weeks.

I think with the fix Stefan just commited we'll probably release 5.0.1 in
the near future, depending on how many people are bitten by it.
I suggest waiting a few more days while continuing to submit bug reports
which we'll most likely be receiving in the coming days, and then branch
off the PHP_5_0 branch. Then again, we could branch right now but it would
be more of a pain to commit to two branches all of the immediate little stuff.

Hello Andi,

that's absolutley stupid. You cannot force people here to fix bugs they
have no idea of by just not branching. Also you ignore every little habit
we developed in the past. That does not let us look professional.

Huh? Not sure where that came from :)
I said that I'm also OK with branching now if people prefer not to wait...
I've also got some hacking I want to start on.

I think we should just branch now. I do not know who usually does that
but whoever feels in charge should simply branch now. Most people want
to create new stuff...

AHHH. Then sorry we all thought you didn't want to. Maybe just because
you didn't and it is up to you. :-)

I branched PHP_5_0
Head is for PHP 5.1 now...
Please be sure to merge bug fixes and small features you think should be in
5.0 to the branch.
