After Baseline 1 is created, the MAJ team merges the Baseline 1 changes into its work (see the
following figure). The team now has
access to the minor enhancements it needs for further development. Team members also have an early
opportunity to determine whether any of their changes are incompatible. Figure 1: Updating major enhancements development
Accordingly, the project manager declares a freeze of major enhancements
development. MAJ team members check in all elements and verify that the monet application
builds and runs, making small source changes as necessary. When all such changes
have been checked in, the team has a consistent set of /main/major/LATEST versions.
Tip: Developers working on other major enhancements
branches can merge at other times, using the same merge procedures described
here.
