We need to take a look at the current version numbers in the SVN repository.
This is the current situation:
Stable:
orocos-branches/branch-1.0 : 1.0.3
orocos-trunk : 1.1.0
Development:
trunk/rtt : 1.2.0
I'd like to change this to:
Stable:
orocos-branches/branch-1.0 : 1.0.3
orocos-trunk : 1.0.90
Development:
trunk/rtt : 1.1.0
The rationale is this:
Development releases have uneven numbers. But on orocos-trunk, no development
is going on besides bug fixing of the 1.0 release, yet it has an 'unstable'
version number. In the meantime, people are developing on the trunk/rtt
development branch which wrongfully has a 'stable' version number of a
version that is not yet released. Hence when dependent libraries
(OCL, KDL,...) check for a version number, they need to check for rtt >= 1.2.0
to detect the development branch. That's awkward since it has not yet been
released.
Tagging trunk/rtt with version 1.1.0 also allows to release development
snapshots.
Any objections ?

I don't understand why you would apply the 1.0 version number on (orocos-)trunk? For
me trunk is where "main development" goes on. And if there's a need
for tagging a specific revision, you could use trunk-date as tagname.
So, ATM, I would say that trunk is "just trunk", and we have 2
branches, a 1.0.x branch and a cmake-branch (*).
Then, at a certain point in time, I guess that trunk/rtt (the above
"cmake branch" (or 1.1 branch) will probably _become_ trunk (**), and
the 1.2 branch will be split of from that path. The current
(orocos-)trunk will then be a dead branch.

Klaas
(*) Which has been split from trunk off before the 1.0 branch IIRC,
and maybe that's a (good?) reason not to call this 1.1 branch?
(**) As its name suggests

The reality is that on orocos-trunk, _no_ development is going on, as I
pointed out. It is as stable as (and identical to) branch-1.0. The
'cmake' branch has already more features than the 1.0 branch, and
calling it the 'cmake' branch is a bit defamatory, as it is more than
'cmake' alone. _IF_ an 1.2.0 release is made, it will be made from this
branch. Hence, it deserves to be called 1.1.0 now.

And I propose to do this right now, except that bugfixes are still done
on orocos-trunk (and hence on branch-1.0).

No objections at all. However, I think it should be clearly
documented for users/developers where they can find trunk, what
specific branches there are and where they can be found (e.g. on the
website + top level README in the repository?).
Because if we are doing this:
- trunk/rtt is the actual trunk
- orocos-trunk is only for internal use (bugfixes), but
- orocos-branches still contains branches
- orocos-tags contains tags
This is rather unintuitive.
Maybe we should then for clarity also svn mv /orocos-branches to
/branches and maintain a similar structure as in trunk, ie.
branches/rtt/1.0.x etc?
And the same for the tags directory.

I hope orocos-dev readers can still see the forest between all my
trunks and branches :-)

Re:Changing the branch version numbers.
I think it is a good idea, especially for releasing some snapshots of the trunk/rtt branch.
