| <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 (Nov 2003), the trunk is the Mesa 5.1 development code |
| while the mesa_5_0_branch branch has the stable Mesa 5.0.x code. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> |
| Mesa releases use an even/odd numbering scheme to represent stable/development |
| releases. |
| |
| For example, Mesa 5.0.x (0 is considered even) is a stable release while |
| Mesa 5.1.x 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_5_0_branch Mesa</code> will |
| checkout the 5.0.x branch and <code>cvs update -r |
| mesa_5_0_branch</code> will convert your current CVS tree to the 5.0.x |
| branch. |

| 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. |
