Any objections to retiring the v0.9.6-maint branch? After all, we have already retired the v0.9.11-maint branch (http://libvirt.org/git/?p=libvirt.git;a=commit;h=cd0d348ed), and the only activity on v0.9.6-maint since 0.9.6.4 was released in January 2013 was the backport of a single CVE fix. The branch no longer builds cleanly on Fedora 20, and while I could identify patches to backport to fix the build situation, it's not worth my time if we can just retire the branch.
FWIW, I'm not really a fan of deleting the branches. Is there any harm to just leaving it there idle ?
The branches aren't deleted, per se, just a new commit added on top of the branch that declares the intent. For example, all you see if you check out v0.9.11-maint is this README file:
http://libvirt.org/git/?p=libvirt.git;a=blob;f=README;h=68aeed1ae7d131661f2b...
The branch would still usable by checking out v0.9.11-maint^ as a detached head, so the history is still there. All I'm proposing is documenting that we aren't going to try and port security fixes to the branch any longer, because no one appears to be actively using it.
Ah, Ok, that seems fine. Regards, Daniel -- |: http://berrange.com -o- http://www.flickr.com/photos/dberrange/ :| |: http://libvirt.org -o- http://virt-manager.org :| |: http://autobuild.org -o- http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/ :| |: http://entangle-photo.org -o- http://live.gnome.org/gtk-vnc :|
