Hi Folks,<br>
<br>
This is just great!<br>
<br>
I assume builds will include:<br>
- V3, Cog, 32bitBinaries<br>
- Spur32, Cog, 32bitBinaries<br>
- Spur64, Cog, 64bitBinaries<br>
<br>
Would it also be possible to include:<br>
- V3, Stack, 32bitBinaries<br>
- Spur32, Stack, 32bitBinaries<br>
- Spur64, Stack, 64bitBinaries<br>
?<br>
<br>
I think that having the non-Cog builds always green could benefit
those platforms where code generation is not possible, and might
ease porting to new platforms. Especially for Spur64.<br>
<br>
Thanks you all!<br>
Juan Vuletich<br>

<div> here are the minutes of, and action items arising from,
the meeting on Wednesday 18th of May to discuss moving the Cog
svn repository to Github. Please read if you're interested
and discuss on vm-dev. The major decision for the community
to participate in is when to make the change, which we hope
will happen in the next few weeks. Thanks to all who attended
the meeting and to all who have helped in making this a
reality. This is exciting!</div>

white-space: pre-wrap;">There will be a master branch
that is stable and from which releases are made using
tags. Only administrators integrate into that branch.
Ongoing development will be on a “dev” branch. This
should also be kept stable for collaboration purposes,
but breakage can happen occasionally. Contributors
working on larger changes will do so on separate
branches to avoid conflicts/breaking other people’s
code.</span></p>

Travis (and Appveyor for Windows). Builds and tests will
be run for Windows, Linux, and OS X, both on 32-bit,
64-bit, and ARM (as applicable). The master will only
ever be merged with green commits. The dev branch should
be green, and if something breaks, but the committer has
no access or no time to fix it, we agreed that any
administrator may roll back the breaking change using
git revert. This way, the breaking change is preserved
in the history, but the current HEAD is green. We will
also disable “force-pushing” to the repository to ensure
that no commit history can be tampered with.</span></p>

human-readable version identifiers, we decided to use
timestamps in the form YYYYMMDDHHmm in UTC. In order to
ensure these timestamps are included in the sources, we
will have a commit script in the repository that any
contributor must use to update the dev and master
branches (**). The checkout command for any version then
becomes “git checkout branch@{timestamp}”. Both the
built VMs via a -version flag, and sources via a header
file, will be marked with these timestamps.</span></p>

derive from the “if you break it, you fix it” philosophy
and distilled it into the “administrators may revert”
policy above. We don’t want to prevent breakages, nor
make people afraid of breaking things. We merely want
to prevent other people being affected by breakages,
especially those that may be operating under production
or time constraints.</span></p>
