Hi,
The trunk-1.0 tree is fed from the main trunk by hand. Bugfixes are selected
for porting from the development trunk to the released trunk. Once enough
fixes are ported a maintenance release is created, like 1.0.1 is a maintenance
release of 1.0.0.
There is a significant difference between a fix and an enhancement. A fix is
implemented functionality made to work correctly, while an enhancement extends
functionality.
The revisions 24833 and 25146 show this difference. Revision 24833 states:
"This patch improves MIKEY support in Wireshark", so qualifies as an
enhancement. Revision 25146 states: "Fix for bug 2481: Remove debug code", so
qualifies as a bugfix.
This leads to revision 25146 being ported to the maintenance release, while
revision 24833 remains in the development tree, which will be released later on.
Thanx,
Jaap

How do you proceed to sync the trunk-1.0 with the main trunk? Because I
fear that a fix has been lost in the process.
If you compare the epan/dissectors/packet-mikey.c file between the main
trunk and the trunk-1.0, you can see the revision 24833 is missing in
the trunk-1.0, even if a newer revision (25146) has been ported to the
trunk-1.0. So it seems to me a revision has been forgotten in the
syncing process between the main trunk and the 1.0 trunk.

David
