On this one I'm for using human readable strings: stable, rc, beta, alpha, milestone, snapshot (see https://bugs.launchpad.net/drizzle/+bug/913276) Hence we should now be releasing drizzle-7.1.xx-beta, which would later become drizzle-7.1.yy-rc, and finally -stable. (yy > xx). This way it is obvious to everyone what type of release we are talking about. (For instance, the release made today is called just "2012.01.30" in the release notes, there is no clue that this would be a beta or 7.1. It's a mess is what it is.) Using clear strings is the best alternative to avoid confusion. odd/even schemes also fall into the category where you'd need to have secret knowledge. henrik -- [email protected] +358-40-8211286 skype: henrik.ingo irc: hingo www.openlife.cc My LinkedIn profile: http://www.linkedin.com/profile/view?id=9522559 _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~drizzle-discuss Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~drizzle-discuss More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
