[asterisk-dev] Branching in the Testsuite

[Kevin Harwell]

Greetings,

We're thinking about adding a branching system to the Asterisk Testsuite.
Each branch would be named the same as, and correspond to, an Asterisk
branch. So for instance the following branches would probably be created:

13, 14, 15

For each release of Asterisk we will also create a tag in the Testsuite
that corresponds to that release's tag. That way someone could checkout
both tags for easy testing

Other advantages? Most all, if not all, the current versioning stuff found
in the Testsuite could go away, or be safely ignored moving forward. The
versioning has become a bit cumbersome especially when you have to make a
backward incompatible change to a test. Moving the version control out of
the Testsuite and into a version control system should alleviate the need
for this moving forward.

Please let us know your thoughts and considerations on moving forward with
this model. Especially any potential pitfalls or problems you might see
with it.

Thanks!
