• PSA: Renaming branches in the linux repository

    From Bastian Blank@21:1/5 to All on Wed Nov 6 20:20:01 2024
    Hi folks

    We will rename the branches in the linux git repository in a short
    while. This will incorporate the spirit of DEP 14 with a bit of special
    sauce.

    The HEAD branch, currently called master, will become debian/latest.

    All the other suite specific branches will be updated to "debian/<version>/<suite>", aka:
    - sid becomes debian/6.11/trixie
    - bookworm becomes debian/6.1/bookworm
    etc

    Foregoing, please only open merge requests against debian/latest and not against a suite specific branch, until it is a version specific fix.

    For more discussion on this change, please see https://lists.debian.org/msgid-search/20240613184840.j2xsk6zl3vnzrwnf@shell.thinkmo.de

    Hi Miguel,

    I'm not a Debian expert, that why I'm asking:

    What happend with *sid/unstable* vs "trixie/testing"?.
    On [1] the version table shows one version per suite.

    [1] https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/linux

    They are debian/latest for uploads to experimental (formely master
    branch), and for now debian/6.11/trixie for unstable uploads, but once
    6.12 moves to unstable this becomes debian/6.12/trixie.

    I think Bastian has updates all related merge requests as well to make
    them merge into the correct branches.

    Regards,
    Salvatore
