I think the issue there is that our current regressions are not that thorough, and there was some hope that by delaying updates longer then users would get the opportunity to shake bugs out of the dev tree that the regressions didn't find. I don't know how successful that's been in practice though. IIRC, we had some plan for a while about freezing commits, etc. (e.g., we'd commit for 5 months then freeze for 1 month (excepting bug fixes), then update stable at the end of the freeze for a 6-month release schedule). Whatever happened to that? Steve _______________________________________________ m5-dev mailing list [email protected] http://m5sim.org/mailman/listinfo/m5-dev
