Branching and releases

Development always targets master branch

All bugfixes and new features are developed on separate git branches. Work-in-progress can be marked by appending "WIP:" to the commit message or the pull request title. Once a feature is ready, a pull request is opened for comments and review. Pull requests should not include any updates to the changelog or version number, as those are done separately at release time to match the actual release. Making a pull request implies that comments and review are requested, so wait at least 24h after making a new PR so others have time to respond.

Very small bugfixes that don't need any reviews (e.g. fixing spelling errors) can be applied directly on master. Note that all commits must pass CI, so Travis-CI needs to see a commit on some branch first and Github needs to register that commit as passing CI. Then those commits can be merged directly on master by a developer who has write access to master, without making a separate pull request on Github.

As this is a WordPress plugin, there can only be one version released. Thus there are no separate maintenance release branches (once 2.1.x has been released, the next release must be 2.1.y or higher, there cannot be any maintenance releases for 2.0.x).

Text is bit of a special case, it's only real purpose is to serve as a key-value store for strings that require translation. Currently the plugin has __ and _e calls scattered all over it – in the future, all of them should live in Text. The advantage of doing so is being able to replace any text in the whitelabel forks.

Templates

The plugin have some template files, which is displaying via wc_get_template function, so they can be overrided in the theme. To do that, need copy files from Pakettikauppa plugin directory (/wp-content/plugins/woo-pakettikauppa/templates/pakettikauppa) to Wordpress theme directory (/wp-content/themes/<theme_name>/woocommerce/pakettikauppa).
