Branches

Introduction

While the project is small adrelanos thinks it is best not to make a too difficult policy.

master

• Adrelanos's progress of work.
• Not calling it unstable, because the changes will most likely never make it unstable but it is just not tested if it still builds.
• Branching model, project readme, information, gpg...

stable

• last released and recommended Whonix version
• ready to include hotfixes

development

• does currently not exist, since only one adding code
• candidate for next Whonix version
• must always build
• currently restructuring
• we can make an always building development branch as soon as someone else commits code

signed git tags

Releases will be tagged and gpg signed.

temporary git tags

Will be named like: adretemp1 or 96adretemp

Can get deleted from time to time.
