@ -1086,10 +1086,12 @@ everything has been successfully built. This allows us to fix issues
before they hit users, and to reduce the window during which pre-built
binaries are not available.
Generally, branches other than @code{master} are considered
@emph{frozen} if there has been a recent evaluation, or there is a
corresponding @code{-next} branch. Please ask on the mailing list or
IRC if unsure where to place a patch.
When we decide to start building the @code{staging} or
@code{core-updates} branches, they will be renamed with the suffix
@code{-frozen}, at which time only bug fixes may be pushed to them. At
the same time, a corresponding branch suffixed with @code{-next} will be
created to accept patches for the next cycle. Please ask on the mailing
list or IRC if unsure where to place a patch.
@c TODO: It would be good with badges on the website that tracks these
@c branches. Or maybe even a status page.
