I don't think that CI builds (or any other builds or build instructions) should rely on what is set as default branch in github. If a build needs to build csound 6, then pulling from csound6 branch should be done explicitly. The issue will come back as soon as there is a release of csound 7 and master points to that.

Independent of that, and in light of develop now being in a very fragile state, I do agree that master should be the default in github.

That would defeat the purpose of making develop csound 7? We could have kept going as before...

Anyway, perhaps making master the default branch, which holds csound 6.17.

I'll do what is perceived to be the best.

Am I right in saying the default branch on github is develop, which builds cs7? If so, can we change the default to master, i.e., 6.17 stable? I have a quite a few CI builds in the wild that are now prone to issues because they are building cs7 by default rather than 6.something

I don't get your point here?

That's all I was asking for. 

i agree that setting master as default branch is good for now (and 
perhaps even for the future).  and i seem to remember that this was a 
consensus already shortly after the last release, when some people 
followed the build instructions and had problems because develop is now 
cs7 (which is great).
