<h1>Branches and Their Descriptions</h1>
<p>The following page describes the various names that we use for
OpenOffice.org and the abilities of those branches. This list is not
meant to be comprehensive it is just a quick snapshot.</p>

<h2>Active branches for developers on the bleeding edge</h2>
<p>This is the area for the brave and experienced developers. These
branches are open for creating the next feature set. They are always
flaky and almost never build without adding patches. You have been
warned.</p>

<h2><a name="developer">Developers branch</a></h2>
<p>A developers branch is where most hacking is done. This has the
most open policy for applying patches and it is typically where new
features are developed and debugged.</p>
<p>The good side to this is that you have the latest features, the
down side is that you get the side effects of the changes. We don't
discourage you from working here but you can expect problems at times.</p>
<p>Developer releases are merged back to stable on a semi regular
basis. All features migrated to <a href="#stable">stable</a> must be
exactly that. </p>
<h2><a name="stable">Stable branch</a></h2>
<p>A stable branch is base for a release build of the OpenOffice.org
product. This is where bug fix tracking takes place. The policy on
these
branches are to fix functional errors only.</p>
<p>The good side is that any patches are more thoroughly vetted before
going into a stable release therefore you have fewer mystery bugs. The
downside is that there are fewer features and some bug fixes are
already
in the developer release.</p>
<h2><a name="master">Master workspace branch</a></h2>
<p>This branch, with the name mws_srx<i>NNN</i>, is the place where
work from developers is integrated into the main codeline. Developers
work in child workspaces with names cws_srx<i>NNN</i>_<i>workspace_Name</i>,
and this work is then merged into the corresponding master workspace. <a
href="http://download.openoffice.org/680/">Developer
snapshots</a> are released from this branch at regular intervals. </p>
<h2><a name="port">Porting branch</a></h2>
<p>This is where a lot of <a href="http://porting.openoffice.org">porting</a>
to new platforms occurs. There are few features added in these branches
and sometimes they are very outdated in terms of functionality as a
port
needs some stability so that they are not solving new problems but
working to an end goal together.</p>
<p>Features that are added are to help support that platform for
example adding a new way of calling windowing functions for example
coding Mac OS aqua calls instead of X windows calls.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This is a branch used for platforms that are not yet part of the
official release platforms, including Mac OSX, Irix, Linux s390.</p>
<p>Some platforms have problems with the gcc version 3 compilers, for
example <a href="http://porting.openoffice.org/irix/">Irix</a> and <a
href="http://porting.openoffice.org/mac/">Mac</a>. Please investigate
the respective porting pages before trying anything.</p>

<h2><a name="tinderbox">Tinderbox build</a></h2>
<p>A <a href="http://ooo.ximian.com/tinderbox-setup.html">tinderbox</a>
build can be any one of the above branch types. It is executed
repeatedly on your machine. This ensures that the particular branch is
working on all platforms that it is supposed to work on.</p>
<p>The reason that a build may break on a branch is that a developer
committed a patch that did not take into account another platforms. A
patch that works fine on windows but breaks a Linux build and vice
versa.</p>
