[Opensource] CVS Lockdown

[larry hamel]

hi Mike,

freezing for a major release is completely understandable.  Just one thing I don't understand about your reference to a branch: 

I expect that the head will move on to 4.2 and that there will be a branch for any patches that go into 4.1. So there isn't a 4.2 branch as you say but rather a 4.1 branch.  Or am I missing something?

After this ea is released, we will branch CVS and all new features should be checked into the Expresso 4.2 branch, and we will continue to perform only bugfixes and low-risk additions to the 4.1 code base.  The only 'new' features I would advocate are additions that assist in debugging installations, for example, an idea would be to extend the status controller to list all Packages in the system with all the version information that we can glean.  As you can see, however, this is low risk to the rest of the system.
