What is this project ?

This project is NOT the official Slicer repository.

It is a fork of Slicer sources hosted at https://github.com/Slicer/Slicer.

It is used as staging area to maintain and test patches that will be contributed back to the official repository.

What is the branch naming convention ?

Each branch is named following the pattern slicer-YYYY-MM-DD-vY.Y.Z-SHA{7}

where:

  • vX.Y.Z is the version of the forked project
  • YYYY-MM-DD is the date of the last official commit associated with the branch.
  • SHA{7} are the first seven characters of the last official commit associated with the branch.

For more details, see https://www.slicer.org/wiki/Documentation/Nightly/Developers/ProjectForks

What is the relationship between Slicer/Slicer and Slicer/SlicerGitSVNArchive ?

Following the transition to using GitHub as the only repository for organizing Slicer sources, former Slicer GitHub repository has been renamed to Slicer/SlicerGitSVNArchive.

To ensure existing SlicerSALT version can still build, this repository was NOT renamed. That said, new branches related to the new Slicer/Slicer repository should still be published in this fork.
