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.
