Redcore streamlines three branches down to two |
 |
Redcore Linux is a distribution which is based on Gentoo with an aim at making it easier to set up a Gentoo-based desktop experience. The Redcore project is streamlining its three branches down to two. Originally there were three branches: master, next, and edge. The master branch was relatively stable and conservative, the next branch was more up to date, and edge was a testing and development branch. The new system will introduce the following changes: "master will behave like next used to. This is the branch for people who want the experience that many have enjoyed on next up until now: a system that 'just works', reasonably fresh, with binaries available without too much waiting. If you liked the old next because it was a good daily driver with working binaries, master is now where that experience lives. next will behave like edge used to. This becomes the true testing and development branch. It is where changes from Gentoo land first, where transitions are incomplete, and where things may break. Binary packages will still be built, but they will lag behind the git state. That means there will be times when the newest changes exist only in source form for a while, and running next will feel much closer to tracking raw Gentoo, with all the sharp edges that implies. The difference from before is that this level of risk is now exposed directly to users, instead of being tucked away in edge. edge is retired."
