There are only two ways to remove that choice: 1. Drop the "stable" branch and make the CVS head the only available option. 2. Kind of obvious, but perhaps release a new stable version. What are the showstoppers for option 2? Are we waiting until the open bug count reaches zero? We will be waiting forever in that case - no matter how much effort is put in. I think that the current CVS should be branched right now, and released as the new 1.0 stable - or perhaps 1.1, to avoid confusion with the premature 1.0 release. New features can be worked into the CVS head and the remaining bugs can be fixed in both branches. Once the new features start to interfere with backport efforts, a new branch can be created. The problem with the old "1.0 stable" was that it was largely unmaintained (i.e. the Debian definition of "stable"). -- _/ _/ _/_/_/_/ _/ _/ _/_/_/ _/ _/ _/_/_/ _/_/ _/ _/ _/ _/_/ _/ K e v i n W a l s h _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/_/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] _/ _/ _/_/_/_/ _/ _/_/_/ _/ _/ _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
