Hmmm... well, most projects don't *have* rc's, so it's definitely a reduced set. But let's see... just thinking about various software I use and plugging it into my favourite search engine: emacs: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/info-gnu-emacs/2014-10/msg00001.html openssl: https://www.openssl.org/source/ (does -beta1 instead of -rc1, but same idea) pidgin did beta tags for 2.0, but not for all releases: https://hg.pidgin.im/pidgin/main/tags BTW, it's not like I'm leaving out ones that use some other scheme... other ones I looked up just didn't have any such thing at all. > > I have the feeling that X related projects tend to exclusively use > proposed format, so I'm trying to keep mesa close/related to X, > non-alien and consistent. > > Is that so much to ask for ? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a7DdyChR8JU -ilia _______________________________________________ mesa-dev mailing list mesa-dev@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/mesa-dev
