forked: adj., vi. 1. [ common after 1997, esp. in the Linux community] An open- source software project is said to have forked or be forked when the project group fissions into two or more parts pursuing separate lines of development ( or, less commonly, when a third party unconnected to the project group begins its own line of development). Forking is considered a Bad Thing — not merely because it implies a lot of wasted effort in the future, but because forks tend to be accompanied by a great deal of strife and acrimony between the successor groups over issues of legitimacy, succession, and design direction. There is serious social pressure against forking. As a result, major forks ( such as the Gnu- Emacs/ XEmacs split, the fissionings of the 386BSD group into three daughter projects, and the short- lived GCC/ EGCS split) are rare enough that they are remembered individually in hacker folklore. |
