= Development process = * Background * The first phase of the development process (work done in "testing") is handled properly * The last phase of the development process, official releases, are handled by James, but the process / requirements for a release are not documented * Right now "testing" is effectively a fork of James' "stable" SVN tree * There is no roadmap for next 2.x release * Which tree to base releases on? * Option 1: Basing releases on James' "stable" tree * There's no process to move code from "testing" (git) to "stable" (svn) * The release process is not documented * Option 2: Basing releases on David's "testing" tree * Currently James makes his modifications to his SVN tree and David pulls his changes to "testing". In this regard, James' SVN tree is no different from any other external tree * Only David's "allmerged" branch contains all code (James', external trees, etc.) * The "testing" tree should get widest testing, especially after we start releasing testing snapshots and linking to them from openvpn.net * How to verify stability of the "testing" code (for moving to "stable" or prior to a release? * Publishing or linking to "testing" releases on openvpn.net is essential to get wider use for "testing" = Other = * Bridging issues * From http://openvpn.net/index.php/open-source/faq.html#bridge1 : "Another bridge disadvantage should be that layer2 is insecure by design, opening your layer2 exposes to arp poisoning and the like."
