hi all

I looked at Ted's description of his/Adrian's changes to httperf. As
I previously stated, I'd like to see two branches of the source (which
I think I previously called "stable" and "development"). For now I'd
like 0.9.x to be the stable line, with a few minor enhancements and
bug fixes to 0.9.0. I'd prefer to see the libevent and other more
significant changes (i.e., that involve "ripping the guts out of
httperf") in version 1.0.x. do we all agree on this?

the next challenge for me is I don't know how to implement this in the
svn repository. I pulled the current version out of svn, but it seems
to have numerous changes beyond 0.9.0. can someone explain to me how
I can contribute to the 0.9.x branch? would those automatically be
used in 1.0.x, or would someone (e.g., Ted or Adrian) need to manually
add them to the 1.0.x branch?

one other topic; is there a need to have a mirror of the httperf svn
repository? if so, could we use the one on netperf.org?

thanks

Yes having a stable and a development branch is certainly possible.
It will take a little bit of work to get to that state though.
Specifically the work that Adrian did to add libevent needs to be
de-patched from the source tree, a branch created for the 0.9.0 work,
then his work needs to be patched back in on the trunk (or vice versa
for all it matters in the big scheme of things).

This can probably be done without too much difficulty.
