David A. Wheeler notes [9] four possible outcomes of a fork, with examples: The death of the fork. This is by far the most common case. It is easy to declare a fork, but considerable effort to continue independent development and support. A re-merging of the fork (e.g., egcs becoming "blessed" as the new version of GNU Compiler Collection.)
Illumos, from the OpenSolaris kernel OS/Net, after Oracle closed down public access to the source code. webtrees , from PhpGedView , due to SourceForge 's policy on exporting encryption. Xonotic , from Nexuiz , after that project was taken proprietary.
Branching, in version control and software configuration management, is the duplication of an object under version control (such as a source code file or a directory tree). Each object can thereafter be modified separately and in parallel so that the objects become different. In this context the objects are called branches. The users of the ...
Source Code Control System (SCCS) [open, shared] – part of UNIX; based on interleaved deltas, can construct versions as arbitrary sets of revisions; extracting an arbitrary version takes essentially the same time and is thus more useful in environments that rely heavily on branching and merging with multiple "current" and identical versions
The developers of Xonotic provide mirrors of DarkPlaces source code on various social coding platforms [13] [14] since the game is built on and distributed with the development version of the engine. QuakeForge - One of the earlier major community ports. [15] NPRQuake - Fork of Quake featuring non-photorealistic rendering giving it a pencil ...
BSD was originally derived from Unix, using the complete source code for Sixth Edition Unix for the PDP-11 from Bell Labs as a starting point for the First Berkeley Software Distribution, or 1BSD. A series of updated versions for the PDP-11 followed (the 2.xBSD releases).
A fork initiated by Mike Hearn. The current reference implementation for bitcoin contains a computational bottleneck. [2] The actual fork was preceded by Mike Hearn publishing a Bitcoin Improvement Proposal (BIP 64) on June 10, 2014, calling for the addition of "a small P2P protocol extension that performs UTXO lookups given a set of outpoints."
Following the appearance of a story of the fork in the news, Apple released the source code of the WebKit fork in a public revision-control repository. [ 28 ] The WebKit team had also reversed many Apple-specific changes in the original WebKit code base and implemented platform-specific abstraction layers to make committing the core rendering ...
