# Branches
The docker/docker repository should normally have only three living branches at all time, including
the regular `master` branch:
`master` serves as the development branch for future releases of the project.
All changes should be made to the `master` branch, and changes to release branches should only be made in the form of cherry-picked commits, if possible.
The sponsoring maintainers of a release branch serve as the primary point of contact, and are available to provide guidance on contributing changes to their respective branches.
## `docs` branch
Keep in mind that release branches only accept bug and security fixes; new features will generally not be considered for backport to release branches.
The `docs` branch supports documentation updates between product releases. This branch allow us to
decouple documentation releases from product releases.
Currently (and previously) maintained release branches are documented in the table below:
## `release` branch
| Branch Name | Sponsoring Maintainer(s) | Contribution Status | Expected End of Maintenance | Known Distributors |
|------------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------|-----------------------|------------------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------|
| master (development branch) | The Moby Project [MAINTAINERS](../MAINTAINERS) | N/A | - | N/A |
| 24.0 | @thaJeztah, @rumpl, @neersighted | Maintained | TBD | [Docker, Inc.](https://docker.com) |
| 23.0 | @corhere, @cpuguy83 | Maintained | TBD | [Mirantis](https://mirantis.com), [Microsoft](https://microsoft.com) |
| 20.10 | @corhere, @cpuguy83 | Maintained (security) | December 2023 | [Mirantis](https://mirantis.com), [Microsoft](https://microsoft.com) |
The `release` branch contains the last _released_ version of the code for the project.
> Note: The Moby Project provides source code releases. Binary distributions are available from multiple contributing parties, and known distributions can be discovered in [PACKAGERS.md](PACKAGERS.md).
The `release` branch is only updated at each public release of the project. The mechanism for this
is that the release is materialized by a pull request against the `release` branch which lives for
the duration of the code freeze period. When this pull request is merged, the `release` branch gets
updated, and its new state is tagged accordingly.
## Contribution Status
The contribution status of a branch is meant to set contributor expectations for acceptance of changes into a branch, as well as document what level of contribution or maintenance the sponsoring maintainers expect to perform. This status is informational and not binding.
- **Maintained** - actively developed by project maintainers; accepting contributions and backports; in-scope for security advisories
- **Maintained (security)** - no longer actively developed; may accept contributions and backports for critical security issues; in-scope for security advisories
- **Unmaintained** - no longer actively developed; not accepting contributions; out-of-scope for security advisories
# Tags
Any public release of a compiled binary, with the logical exception of nightly builds, should have
a corresponding tag in the repository.
All releases of The Moby Project should have a corresponding tag in the repository.
The project generally attempts to adhere to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org) whenever possible.
The general format of a tag is `vX.Y.Z[-suffix[N]]`:

# Dear Packager,
# For Users
The Moby Project is widely packaged by many independent software distributors,
generally under the name 'docker' or 'docker.io.'
A non-exhuastive list of known software packagers and distributions includes:
- [Docker Inc. - Docker CE](https://docs.docker.com/engine/)
- [Mirantis - Mirantis Container Runtime](https://docs.mirantis.com/mcr/)
- [Microsoft - CBL-Mariner Linux](https://microsoft.github.io/CBL-Mariner/docs/)
- [AWS - Amazon Linux](https://aws.amazon.com/linux/)
# For Packagers
If you are looking to make Docker available on your favorite software
distribution, this document is for you. It summarizes the requirements for

yourself, take a look at "vendor.mod" for an easy-to-parse list of the

Note that this project is **not** a Go module. To properly build the project,
`GOPATH` mode must be used. The project is migrating to Go modules, but `vendor.mod`
should not be interchanged with `go.mod` until this transition is complete.
