Yeah, well, the problem is that now there's no 1.99_11 binary on

At one point I tried keeping multiple versions. This becomes
a bit complicated administratively, but more importantly,
99.9% of the time older versions have bugs that are fixed in
the current version. This is the main reason I use the cvs
version for the builds - however, I make sure that all, or
at least the vast majority, of tests pass with a given
build. So there's rarely a case of needing an older version,
especially for something like mod_perl 2 which is in
development.

May be we should keep the binary of the latest release and the cvs one? The cvs version may introduce bugs non-existing in the last release and may go unnoticed for quite some time, if 'make test' doesn't catch them. So if winFU is now a viable platform for production use of mod_perl 2.0 users will most likely be better off with the latest release and not the cvs version.


I'm not sure how ppm can handle that, though. Can it ignore the dev versions by some method similar to PAUSE (_ in the version number)?
