[gentoo-catalyst] Branches catalyst_2 and master

[Sebastian Pipping]

Hello!


I noticed that the latest release of catalyst (2.0.6.916) was made from
branch catalyst_2, not master.  I wonder if this transition would make
sense:

  "catalyst_2" -> new "master"
  "master"     -> new "catalyst_3"

Before-mentioned switch would show visitors of

  http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/catalyst.git;a=summary

commits that they could relate to, better.

Are you relying on dev-util/catalyst-9999 to ship catalyst 2.99/3.x?
Updating the live ebuild would be easy.

Thanks for consideration.



Sebastian


PS:  I have just brought the catalyst ebuilds 2.0.6.916
     and 9999 back in sync.

For the record: today's chat on gentoo-dev IRC resulted in an agreement
that flipping master is not a good idea, mainly because of the forced
push that would be required.

Best,
