1994 -12 -14 )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 .
