Hackathon June 2012

Agenda

Discuss:

build fidelity
- bndtools must be able to build itself (#327: bndtools can't build itself from a clean checkout) (the bnd build also fails)
#107: cache used bundles under ~/.obr
#164: bundle version do not align
Release/Development policy (OIOW: 'next is the new master')
- development for the next version should happen on master
- new features should be developed on a feature branch and merged into master when the feature is complete and it has been decided that the feature will be in the next release
- releases should be tagged with an annotated tag (we probably need a script for this)
- do NOT release from a dirty workspace
- do NOT create changes with whitespace damage
