Already created. See -book. > We should not update a *tag*. Why not update a tag? It is just a name. Tags and branches are the exact same, other than branches are expected to be updated. Typically tags don't get updated. But one simple commit to the general.ent file in the tag gets us where we want without having to disrupt trunk. Please understand, we're talking *one* simple commit to general.ent. Why do you see harm in that. SVN is to be used as a *convenience* to us, why make it difficult to adhere to some unwritten rule that you shouldn't make commits to tags. Surely, just one commit to general.ent isn't that big of a deal. I do understand your point about the about the current tickets open, but again, why can't we release an rc1 version with the explanation that there are still a few open tickets that *hope* to get resolved by the final release? There are some tickets (assigned or not) that I'm not certain will be addressed before 2/14. I'm not arguing nor defending my position, I'm asking for clarification. I don't buy into the idea that SVN must be used *this way or that way*, I believe it should be used in the manner most convenient to us. > For final release, create a *branch* for 6.2.0 the same way and then > change the trunk blfs-version entity back to svn. For final release, I'm inclined to create a tag for 6.2.0 and a branch for 6.2.1. Again, not defending my original method, but a branch for 6.2.0 doesn't seem right at all. Again, this should be a tag. The *6.2.1* version is what should be a branch, as this will be the version that all the edits in Trunk will be merged into. Please, let's continue to discuss. I want to get this right. Or at least understand the methodology. -- Randy rmlscsi: [bogomips 1003.26] [GNU ld version 2.16.1] [gcc (GCC) 4.0.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.6] [Linux 2.6.14.3 i686] 19:59:00 up 21 days, 20:13, 1 user, load average: 0.25, 0.11, 0.03 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
