Well, we'd have to move to subversion first in order to make use of SVN tags. I'm afraid that "releasing" SVN tags instead of tarballs will deter end-users who just need to satisfy some application dependency. A tarball is something familiar to non-technical Unix/Linux users, whereas subversion is not. Package maintainers are also used to build from tarball releases. Besides, if I find the time to bless a subversion revision with a stable tag, most of the work is done anyway. I can just as well build the tarball and upload it. This takes just another cup of coffee's amount of time. While we're at it: how do other developers and users feel about moving libdbi development to subversion? Is it worth the hassle? regards, Markus -- Markus Hoenicka [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Spam-protected email: replace the quadrupeds with "mhoenicka") http://www.mhoenicka.de ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
