major = fatal and deep changes
minor = typical release with new features
maint = maintenance releases; bug fixes only

SCM (Source Code Management) Repository:
Primary repository:
git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/utils/util-linux/util-linux.git
Backup repository:
git clone https://github.com/util-linux/util-linux.git
Web interfaces:
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/utils/util-linux/util-linux.git
https://github.com/util-linux/util-linux
Note: the GitHub repository may contain temporary development branches too.
The kernel.org repository contains master (current development) and stable/*
(maintenance) branches only. All master or stable/* changes are always pushed
to both repositories at the same time.
Repository Branches: 'git branch -a'
Master Branch:
- Continuously developed, no feature freeze or translation freezes.
- Day-to-day status is: 'it works for me'. This means that its
normal state is useful but not well tested.
Stable Branches:
- Public releases.
- Branch name: stable/v<major>.<minor>.
- Created from the 'master' branch.
- The release candidates and final release are always based
on the stable branch.
- Maintenance releases are part of, and belong to, their respective
stable branch. As such, they are tags(<major>.<minor>.<maint>) and
not branches of their own. They are not part of, visible in, or
have anything to do with the 'master' development branch. In git
terminology: maintenance releases are not reachable from 'master'.
- When initially cloned (as with the 'git clone' command given above),
these branches are created as 'remote tracking branches' and are
only visible by using the -a or -r options to 'git branch'. To
create a local branch, use the desired tag with this command:
'git checkout -b v2.29.2 v2.29.2'
Tags: 'git tag'
- v<version> tag is created in the stable branch for every release.
- v<version>-devel is created in the master branch to start work on the next release.
- All tags are signed by the maintainer's PGP key.
WORKFLOW EXAMPLE:
Development Releases
(Master Branch) (Stable/vX.Y Branch)
- Sync latest translations
from translationproject.org
- Tag v<X.Y+1>-devel - Fork from master to stable/v<X.Y> branch
- Code stabilization
- RC1 (Tag v<X.Y>-rc1)
- Backport bug fixes
- RC2 (Tag v<X.Y>-rc2)
- po/ and po-man/ translations available on
translationproject.org/
- Wait 7-17 days for translators
- Sync latest translations
- Backport bug fixes
- Final release v<X.Y> (Tag v<X.Y>)
...
- Release v<X.Y>.1
...
- Release v<X.Y>.2
