Why don't we have a branch more like the Linux kernel?

I would _love_ to have a cvs branch that had every bit of developmental code in it so that we can see what's happening:

To be honest, I would prefer not to use CVS at all, but instead just have a list of patches in unified diff format on the Dillo website, with a note saying which version they were made against.

That way, everybody can apply whatever combination of patches they want to quickly and easily, and you can unapply a patch just using -R.

Unified diff format makes it easier to apply patches against code that has already been modified.

...

Even though it will be _very_ unstable. My theory is, if it is good enough for a screenshot, it's good enough for the 'developmental' branch.

This would also mean that the developer's personal trees will be better sync'ed

Having a separate development branch does create a fair amount of work, keeping the two in sync.

I'm keen to either or both ideas. :)

I'm a newbie to all this really, so I don't know too much about serious advantages and disadvantages but I'm in it primarily to enjoy myself and a fast-changing unstable branch sounds like it could be fun.

The decision is really up to Jorge :-).

Update on the issues John pointed out:

1. Disapearing list bullets. -- Solved, I'll make code available if you are interested.

Yes please.

But i'm busy at the moment.

2. List items other than the first in the list are displayed slightly too far to the right. -- I've found that Dw_widget_size_allocate is being called with an extra +5 for the x coordinate of those list items. I don't yet know why.

3. maximizing in FVWM2 -- I haven't looked into it at all yet.

I'd like to have in my personal copy of Dillo two features that have been available for Dillo in the past but never made their way into CVS and were not maintained:

1. Basic Authentication -- so I can use dillo with the CUPS web interface.

2. Outside Html Source Viewer -- I'd rather dillo spawn vim.

Has anybody else noticed that when displaying very long lines in the source viewer, occasionally the arrows which indicate wrapped lines overlap the last letter on each screen line?

When I get a chance, I'll make the old patches and probably some others available on my website.

John.
