Comments on: Merb 1.0 RC1 delayed (by few hours hopefully) http://merbist.com/2008/10/13/merb-10-rc1-delayed-by-few-hours-hopefully/ Random thoughts of a software developer Sat, 31 Dec 2011 05:29:17 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3 By: Yehuda Katz http://merbist.com/2008/10/13/merb-10-rc1-delayed-by-few-hours-hopefully/comment-page-1/#comment-71 Yehuda Katz Mon, 13 Oct 2008 17:17:47 +0000 http://merbist.com/?p=162#comment-71 @Geoffrey we had previously discussed making this change before the RC to make it easier to backport atomic changes that happen in both -core and -more. Previously, it was very difficult to be sure that two checkouts of -core and -more were in sync. Despite the whimsical nature of the post, we actually discussed the change all of last week, and were mostly locking down the specifics of the process going forward (is "active" a fork or a branch, etc.). @Geoffrey we had previously discussed making this change before the RC to make it easier to backport atomic changes that happen in both -core and -more.

The idea is that it will be easier to maintain backwards compatibility for merb-core and merb-more if they are in a single repo and can be patched together. And I assume that the other repos will be updated with a README that directs people to the new one. Ok, so I talked to Yehuda on IRC and got an explanation, which makes a bit more sense.

We have a ton of tutorials out there linking to the other repositories. Surely one could use git submodules to include the others into a master repository without abandoning the existing repositories?
