<HTML> <TITLE>CVS Branches</TITLE> <BODY text="#000000" bgcolor="#55bbff" link="#111188"> <H1>CVS Branch Information</H1> <p> At any given time, there may be several active branches in Mesa's CVS repository. Generally, the CVS trunk contains the latest development (unstable) code while a CVS branch has the latest stable code. </p> <p> Currently (Oct 2004), the trunk is the Mesa 6.3 development code while the mesa_6_2_branch branch has the stable Mesa 6.2.x code. </p> <p> Mesa releases use an even/odd numbering scheme to represent stable/development releases. For example, Mesa 6.2 (0 is considered even) is a stable release while Mesa 6.3 is a development release. </p> <p> To checkout a specific CVS branch pass <code>-r</code> and the branch tag after your CVS command. For example <code>cvs checkout -r mesa_6_2_branch Mesa</code> will checkout the 6.2 branch and <code>cvs update -r mesa_6_2_branch</code> will convert your current CVS tree to the 6.2 branch. Consult <a href="http://www.durak.org/cvswebsites/doc/cvs_5.php3#SEC54" target="_parent">http://www.durak.org/cvswebsites/doc/cvs_5.php3#SEC54</a> for more on branching in CVS. </p> <p> To see a list of all the CVS branches run <code>cvs log README</code> (or any other file) and look for the section labeled <code>symbolic names</code>. You'll see something like this: </p> <pre> symbolic names: mesa_4_0: 1.3 mesa_4_0_branch: 1.3.0.6 mesa_3_5: 1.3 mesa_3_4_2: 1.3 mesa_3_4_1: 1.3 mesa_3_4: 1.3 mesa_3_4_branch: 1.3.0.4 mesa_3_3: 1.3 mesa_3_2_1: 1.1.1.1 mesa_3_3_texture_env_combine2: 1.3.0.2 mesa_3_2: 1.1.1.1 mesa_3_2_beta_1: 1.1.1.1 mesa_3_1: 1.1.1.1 mesa_3_2_dev: 1.1.1.1.0.2 mesa_3_1_beta_3: 1.1.1.1 start: 1.1.1.1 mesa: 1.1.1 </pre> <p> Most will be obsolete branches. Generally, the newer branches are at the top. Ask on the mesa3d-dev mailing list to learn which branches are active. </p> </body> </html>
