This unexpected release number change is causing problems to everbody compiling GNUstep from SVN trunk. Of course it is always best to recompile everything at once, but at least somebody could have send out a warning that this was needed. Perhaps we really should redefine the release number handling in GNUstep. As I see it, we did not use release number according to our definition on the wiki for the last releases. There was no unstable release for gui/back and for base we just used an unstable release number 1.15 and treated it as a stable one, while bumping up the release number for the next unstable release to 1.17, but never doing the 1.16 stable and now even skipping the 1.17 release. Non of this is very problematic, it just is utterly confusing and should be clarified in the wiki. And perhaps we can do better than that in the future. Fred PS: What about doing the gui release? That way we can force everybody to recompile :-) And I would like to see Wolfgang's great patches out and getting used. _______________________________________________ Gnustep-dev mailing list Gnustep-dev@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnustep-dev
