GIT Flow

• Basic GIT tutorial http://gitimmersion.com/
• Two git-flow processes
  • (1) Simple, but no hot-fix branch: http://scottchacon.com/2011/08/31/github-flow.html
  • (2) Perhaps too complex, but with hot-fix branch: http://nvie.com/posts/a-successful-git-branching-model/

• Rules
  • Clean up feature branches
  • Recreate release branches from tags

• Honza make a wiki page describing the flow

Testing

• Test results: http://getfirebug.com/testresults/?dburi=http://firebug.couchone.com/

• Some tests failing.
• The test-bot needs from GIT: github.com/firebug/firebug/tests

Next Goals

• • Better Parser API, Sebastian and Simon
  • Firecookie, Honza (but what about Swarms?)

Swarms

• What about having a panel with extensions?
• How far is the Swarms idea to be finished?
• Sebastian: post a Swarm status.

Module Loader

• Christoph doing progress
• Modules join on the fly
• Support for packages
• Could enable independent package/module development in the future
