Hang on, the plan has been to bump versions whenever something goes wrong during the packaging process. Would it still be a PITA? I don't mind either way. The important thing is for us to be (i) doing something about the quality control, which basically boils down making a release candidate (or staging) *even for point releases* and (ii) coordinating between at least the RM and our Windows/MacOS X packagers to have a simultaneous source/binary release Taking Stephen (and Joachim's) advice to heart: anybody building Darcs packages who wants to comment? Salvatore and Florian are our Windows and MacOS X packagers. Anything to add, guys? -- Eric Kow <http://www.nltg.brighton.ac.uk/home/Eric.Kow> PGP Key ID: 08AC04F9
