and give it a major number of "1", a patch level of "x", and an extra<br>identifier as "dev". viola, a 6.x-1.x-dev development snapshot from<br>HEAD. then, whenever you make the DRUPAL-6 branch, you can just edit
<br>this release node and you'll now have the option to move the CVS<br>branch from HEAD to DRUPAL-6. no, you don't need any special<br>permissions on d.o for this -- anyone who can edit the release node<br>can move it from HEAD if there's now a CVS branch that doesn't have a
<br>release node but that specifies the same version information. after<br>that "HEAD" will again be an available choice when creating new<br>release nodes, e.g. for the initial 7.x port, or as a 6.x-2.* new<br>
feature series.<br><br>so long as you give the HEAD release node a version number that<br>*could* someday be its own branch (i.e. major number >= 1), you can<br>always move a HEAD release node to the appropriate branch once that
<br>exists. see <a href="http://drupal.org/node/89699">http://drupal.org/node/89699</a> for more.<br><br>someone should really update <a href="http://drupal.org/node/17570#HEAD">http://drupal.org/node/17570#HEAD</a> with
<br>this wisdom. any volunteers? ;)\<br></blockquote></div><br clear="all"><br>-- <br><a href="http://2bits.com">2bits.com</a><br><a href="http://2bits.com">http://2bits.com</a><br>Drupal development, customization and consulting.
