Milestone Stabilization

Fixes of all Milestone stoppers are required to be committed to a special Milestone branch when the stabilization week is over. Stoppers can be fixed in the trunk during the stabilization week.

The branch name is derived from the Milestone number and release number:
     releaseVV-mx (e.g. release60-m1)

VV - NetBeans version 
x - milestone number

Milestone branch is created on Fri evening together with trunk build. (It is 20:00 CET for NetBeans 6.0). Milestone build is created from milestone branch over Sunday night automatically.  

Instructions for commit to Milestone branch

1. Update your sources to release60-m1 branch which stem from the original milestone trunk sources.

    
    cd nb_all
    cvs update -rrelease60-m1
        

2. Make all changes to affected files.

3. Check and commit to the release60-m1 branch
