what actually needs doing? (other than the mechanics, of course) > As such I suspect that your int map stuff will be complete before a > release happens. that depends: given the scope and the amount of time i have free, it's likely to be several weeks before i have the implementations i want. the last attempt to release JCL 1.1 failed due to lack of interest but i haven't given up. IMO it's worth doing since it fixes much of the existing mess. since my plan to cut an alpha for testing failed. > That said, there is no harm in tagging primitives now, enabling a branch > to be taken from the tag. (or are svn branches/tags different from cvs) in subversion: all are one and one is all :) do a 'copy with history': if it ends up in tags then it's a tag, if it ends up in branches, it's a branch. this makes things much, much easier. no tag is necessary with subversion (it's easy enough to take a copy from the revision before the int map stuff gets committed) but IMO it's neater that way. so, i'll take a tag. - robert --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
