I filed 2 bugs based on this discussion: If our next release is 7.1, then package name must be drizzle7.1 https://bugs.launchpad.net/drizzle/+bug/913267
Tag releases as stable, rc, beta, alpha, milestone, snapshot https://bugs.launchpad.net/drizzle/+bug/913276 Going anywhere near autotools always freaks me out, so I didn't tag them as low-hanging-fruit, but they shouldn't be too much work. henrik On Fri, Jan 6, 2012 at 12:03 AM, Henrik Ingo <[email protected]> wrote: > On Thu, Jan 5, 2012 at 11:11 PM, Stewart Smith <[email protected]> > wrote: >> Different packages that conflict (or, if packaging is done really well, >> can be installable side-by-side). >> >> This is like the postgresql packages that allow you to stay on an older >> version, and like MySQL (debian) packages. >> >> Basically, we get to keep doing stable releases of drizzle7 while at the >> same time having stable releases of drizzle7.1 and distros don't have to >> choose which one they ship - they can ship both and have a default or >> people can choose. > > Ok, so first things first, you're saying that our next version (and > what we should already have done with the beta's!) will be > drizzle7.1-2012.0x.xx.
