I'm investigating applying Stephen Cameron's ".trunk" + ".origin" patch and find myself wondering a couple things about CVS Releases:
1. What's the odds of this patch getting included in the main CVS source so it doesn't need to be reworked each time there are changes to the source? When I asked Stephen this, he said "When I left off, my belief was the only thing missing was sanity.sh test cases for interactions with vendor branches...", unfortunately he also said he doesn't have time to work on it anymore. 2. I've also been considering options for fixing the infinite loop problem in translate_symtag which Larry recently fixed. Would it be possible to retrofit this fix to 1.11.1p1? Or is it better to use the latest source? 3. How safe is the latest source? I ask, because our CVS server supports over 1500 developers and I'm quite sure I won't be able to sell installing "unstable" code. I've seen a couple messages saying to upgrade to the latest source, which leads me to believe that perhaps the latest code is fairly stable? 4. How frequent are "official" releases? And/or, is there any estimation when the next "official" release might be? _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
