 This knowledge base contains information that is still too much in flux or immature to be put into the proper documentation. Some like the [http://trac.mondorescue.org/roadmap Roadmap] will (hopefully!) always be that way.

-The second one is called 'trunk' and is currently dedicated to a rewrite of the memory management in mondorescue, including first the removal of sprintf/strcat/strcpy functions in the code. It's NOT stable. It may even NOT compile. Once it is, it will probably lead to a 3.0.x version.

-So patches on the stable version should be produced against the stable version and then ported back to trunk using svn merge. Conflicts have to be expected and resolved due to the massive rewrite of code for memory management.

-Do not use version 2.10/1.10 of mondo and mindi of the official site as they are broken and not maintained at the moment. Not sure they will be one day either :-). Be conservative and either use the latest cvs versions of the official site or, better, the published 2.0.9/1.0.9 versions of this site at [ftp://ftp.mondorescue.org]
