Clarification needed: Stable / Development / Staging

[weinrank]

Hi,

I recently ran into in issue regarding the different versions (Production / Development / Staging).

Background: I've committed a PR to the arduino-esp32 Project project and wanted this PR to be included in my platform.io project.

I've changed the platformio.ini file and changed the platform entry from espressif32 to the URL of this github repo. I've expected that the most recent version of espressif's arduino-esp32 repo will be fetched. But this wasn't the case.

Later on I've added the staging tag and got a more recent version which includes my PR.

Can you clarify the naming scheme for (Production / Development / Staging)?

Thanks!

Hi @weinrank !

• Stable (Production) version uses only stable versions of packages (e.g. arduino-esp32 v1.0.2)
• Development branch is where new features, packages, bug fixes, etc are added but not yet released.
• Staging special branch where the latest Arduino framework is cloned directly from GitHub with the most recent changes.

Hi @valeros ,

thanks for the clear and precise clarification. It might be helpful to add this to the README.md.
