<div dir="ltr">Update!<div><br></div><div>Branching now exists in the Asterisk testsuite. Moving forward, when creating a test for the testsuite you should no longer need to include the Asterisk versioning information. Just write the test against the appropriate branch. Also, when uploading a patch to gerrit, please be sure to cherry pick the test to any other applicable branches.</div><div><br></div><div>As well when executing the testsuite be sure to run it against the correct Asterisk branch. Otherwise you will receive failures due to some tests not being supported on that branch.</div><div><br></div><div>For each new release of Asterisk a tag is created in the Testsuite for the previous release's branch, which is then deleted (the branch that is). Note, in order to minimize the number of tags, especially the number of tags potentially pointing to the same commit, only one final tag is created for a single release branch. This tag will have the same version number as the last Asterisk version released for that branch.</div><div><br></div><div>Lastly, as mentioned in another post a "legacy" branch now exists that maintains the state of the testsuite just prior to adding in branching. This exists for historical purposes and new tests should *not* go into it.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks!</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Dec 15, 2017 at 10:59 AM, Kevin Harwell <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:kharwell@digium.com" target="_blank">kharwell@digium.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Greetings,<div><br></div><div>We're thinking about adding a branching system to the Asterisk Testsuite.

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.</div><div><br></div><div>Please let us know your thoughts and considerations on moving forward with this model.
