Question regarding project contribution/branch management

[guillaume SEJOURNE]

Hi,

I'd like to get involved in the project, and though I pushed a few pull requests already, I have some questions regarding the way the

repository code is handled:

• In general, what branch should I work to push a fix? master, develop, hotfix_n ?
• What is the backport policy regarding these fixes, given they apply to multiple branches ?
• push to master/develop,
• the fixes are automatically backported/merged to the appropriate hotfix branch ?
• I'm working exclusively on Linux, and I noticed all line-ending characters are CR/LF: if I submit pull requests, I suppose I need to convert my line-endings characters to CR/LF ?
• How the release process handles updates?
• I submitted a pull-request which was accepted on branch hotfix/2.0.2.
• The current _bin package that's available for download on the DITA-OT website is the 2.0.1 tag.
• How frequently is the stable branch updated ?

Also, is there some kind of continuous build / integration platform running tests against the various stable versions ?

I want to add a test that is quite specific to my projects, which installs the latest 2.0.x stable and installs my plugins automatically, and report new errors if any.

In the long run, I was thinking of making this a bit more generic and install custom extension plugins to run the same tests.

Is there any test framework you use / recommend I should look at ?

Thanks for the clarification.
