The contribution guide (https://github.com/opendevstack/opendevstack.github.io/blob/master/doc/development-guide.md) contains a section at the end regarding acceptance criteria of PRs. We need to add something regarding release management. Basically, branches from which patch versions are created (e.g. 1.0.x) will only accept PRs which are bugfixes. PRs containing features will have to go into master. As a consequence:

  • users are more likely to update regularly in order to get new features
  • reduced amount of maintenance on our part
  • minimal effort required to update between patch versions (because ideally nothing needs to be rebuilt)

@clemensutschig As discussed with you. @stitakis @rattermeyer @tjaeschke Agreed?

This ticket was just a question if all are OK with the proposed policy: "Branches from which patch versions are created (e.g. 1.0.x) will only accept PRs which are bugfixes. PRs containing features need to go into master."

If yes, I need to add the policy in the docs.

Actually, reading the guide it is documented :) Forgot that. Closing.
