in short: What is the reference repository: some branches or the

record: to
me it is for bug reports regarding my stuff, unless the reports are
branch-specific). But if you regard pd-extended branches as
reference
for your externals, I'll take note of that for future reports.

the practice laid out by a number of other projects of focusing all
my work on the release branch. Then once the release is done, I'll
merge those changes into trunk. Otherwise, it is a lot of work
maintaining changes in two branches at the same time.
</pre> </blockquote> <pre wrap="">That's perfectly fine. Maybe I should rephrase the question to: When
to close bugs?
If I encounter a bug, I first update my checkout to the latest version
of the trunk, recompile, and if the bug still is there, I go to the
bug report page and look, if there is an open bug report regarding it.
Mabye I'll also search the mailing list. In this case I didn't find a
bug report, and in the archive I saw you asking for a report. So I sat
down and wrote one. It was closed some minutes later because there is
a branch that doesn't have the bug anymore.
Now someone else may come along, do the same thing as I did, but now
there is no open bug report anymore so she may go through the same
procedure again.
Anyway, no need to further pursue this issue in this petty case, but
in general I'd prefer if bug reports would stay open until they are
fixed in the main branch i.e. the trunk to avoid duplicate reports.
