Sounds like a good plan to me Bazsi and makes perfect sense. I never understood why there were so many different versions and don't see how you supported all of those at once.
thanks. any other opinions?
I'm on the same opinion as Fred, mostly at least. The one thing I'd ask about is the stable branches in the future. Stable branches are of course great and needed, but what would be the policy for getting code into stable? Bugfixes only, or would some minor/trivial features be allowed aswell? The main reason I ask this, is because if the syslog-ng team at Balabit will base their work on the stable branch, then wouldn't it be easier to delegate the stable branch's maintainance to them? (Or to the support team, since they'll be fixing stuff reported by Balabit clients anyway; backporting fixes from the devel branch to stable is - in my opinion - not that huge of an additional task, either.) That way, you could focus on development, and leave the boring maintainance to those who already do something similar. :) This only works though, if the stable branch is bugfix-only.
* I plan to announce a feature freeze for 3.3 and publish a beta version. And at the same time open the 3.4 branch for integrating all the stuff which has accumulated on the mailing list.
(Imagine cute puppy eyes here:) Would it be possible to get the value-pairs() & afmongodb updates in before the feature freeze? O:) -- |8]
