[swift-dev] Changes to LLDB Branch Management

[Chris Bieneman]

That somewhat depends. If the patch is relating to swift support, it should go through GitHub. If the patch is more general to LLDB we are encouraging contributions to LLVM.org <http://llvm.org/>, which would be Phabricator (reviews.llvm.org <http://reviews.llvm.org/>).

This is the same policy we use for LLVM, Clang and the other LLVM.org <http://llvm.org/> projects.

The goal is to have LLDB more closely align with the other projects forked from LLVM.org <http://llvm.org/>. We believe that making this change will simplify the contribution process for LLDB’s Swift support.

The latest and greatest from LLVM.org <http://llvm.org/>, and Swift support. This branch will pair to LLVM & Clang’s upstream-with-swift branches and Swift’s master-next.

Additionally we have made the swift-lldb/stable branch the default branch on the GitHub repository, which matches the behavior of LLVM & Clang.

Additionally, the Swift contributing page (https://swift.org/contributing/#llvm-and-swift <https://swift.org/contributing/#llvm-and-swift>) has been updated to reflect the alignment of the LLDB process with the other LLVM.org <http://llvm.org/> projects.
