Revision as of 14:11, 14 January 2009

Sisyphus is quite dynamic project which makes it hard to schedule and perform releases based on it. To overcome this system of branches was invented: Sisyphus is regularely literally branched creating a new repository which is then stabilized for a several months. Resulting repository is called a branch and used as a basis for distributives and solutions. After stabilization branches only incorporate security and critical feature fixes.

Branch contents

Every branch is an APT repository containing source and binary RPM packages in branch.

Additionaly for every branch there is a bugzilla product for bugtracking and sisyphus.ru support.
