: The point is that releases are not planned ahead of time, so we can : never tell which files that have been modified between, say, X.Y and : X.Y.Z release. We know that only when the release is made. In short,
that's not entirely true ... it's very easy to determine exactly what has changed between any two releases by diffing the releases, but that can only be done once the release is made. typically there is a window of time in which the changes that will be going into a release are applied to a branch specificly created for that release, so thta people can try it out and check for last minute bugs ... at that point you will have a reasonably high level of confidence that you know what is going to be in that release, and you could start working on porting then (even though the release isn't final) recording what versions you port and using subversion to check for any bug fixes made after that. -Hoss --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
