I'm on board, too. Trunk should be stable, and a staging ground for pushing into a release. hg can be unstable. I know I broke this policy only hours ago, but I think before a big push back to trunk, we should ask for approval and get a second. I don't mind handling most of the merges, but in cases where someone has done a LOT of work, I'll happily send out patches -- which is what I did with the last big merge, a couple months ago. For instance, when Stephen's structure function goes in, I think he should be the one to 'svn ci' it. In the next release, which I think may not be very far off, we should also document this in the proper docs. I think adding a "How is yt developed?" section to the docs would be good. -Matt On Wed, Mar 17, 2010 at 12:17 PM, j s oishi <jsoishi@gmail.com> wrote:

Hi guys,
It seems that most of yt development has migrated away from the svn-trunk to the various mercurial branches. Like most of you guys, I imagine, I am now using the main hg branch of yt almost exclusively, since that's where everything new that I need gets put right away. It's rare, but every now and then something goes straight into the svn trunk without passing through hg.
Just to make it official, I would like to propose that the svn-trunk not be used for any active development, but only a staging area for updates coming from the hg branch and destined for a release version. This way, we don't run into the issue of having to merge changes in two directions between svn and hg, which I think is a bit of a pain. I get the impression that almost all development is taking place in hg already, but I think it may be beneficial to have an official policy on how this sort of thing should be done.
Thoughts, anybody?
Britton
