Are we working from "release" branches or from master ahead of a release? I think Jenkins suggests "release*" is the case. Now wondering processes etc.

[Wade Chandler <wa...@apache.org>]

Hey all. I was building from master recently, and had various issues/exceptions, and of course know we have a vote on 10 going on. Knowing NetBeans past, I looked for the release branches, and saw branch release100 out there. I wasn’t sure the current process as I had been out of touch for a while (work and all).

Is the idea to create a release branch, and then work there when we get “close” to shooting for a release? Too, how are we keeping items synced up between master and release* after we we start that process if so? Maybe even a link will work if the process is documented. I’m assuming changes in both master and release for the near term, so just looking for guidance.

Jenkins suggests yes on the release branch, but not sure the rest https://builds.apache.org/view/Incubator%20Projects/job/incubator-netbeans-release/configure <https://builds.apache.org/view/Incubator%20Projects/job/incubator-netbeans-release/configure> 

Thanks much,

Wade

We put changes into the main branch, then cherry pick those that are needed
in the release branch.

Thanks,
