Allow me to explain why I have such strong beliefs about this. On my firm, we are using some techniques to enable that. On one project they are releasing new functionality every two weeks. How they do that is as following. These 2 weeks releases are incremental changes to a already running production system. They take a limited set of functionality that can be developed in say just over a week. Nightly builds are deployed on
You mean for a two week release cycle you only plan for one week of development? Are your managers *sane*? ;-) I think most of us can't imagine working in an environment like that, being used to one week release cycles with two weeks of work scheduled ;-) Of course with kind of development cycle I can perfectly understand why you expect the 1.1 branch to always be working. Realistically though the OpenSource cycle is more one developer working, community testing. Which is not to say that we try to get better :-) Michael
