Hi, As an alternative idea: What about using branches to mark "stable" and "development"? Tags are for fixed versions and so users will not receive updates unless they update their update scripts manually?! When "development" is stable just merge into "stable".

It seems like we should use git tags to let the OMPI/testing community know which tag they should be using (vs. HEAD). To that end, I have created a "v3.0.0" tag that exists before the controversial set of commits I pushed the other day -- e12386e. Assumedly, when we fix whatever problem Mellanox is setting with commits beyond e12386e, we can call that "v3.0.1", or some such, and ask everyone to move up to it. So those who need stability should stick back at tags, and those who want to help with development can be at the HEAD. How does that sound? If that sounds ok, I'll ask the OMPI test community to git checkout v3.0.0. And in the future, we'll ask the OMPI test community to update to the next relevant tag, etc. -- Jeff Squyres jsquy...@cisco.com For corporate legal information go to: http://www.cisco.com/web/about/doing_business/legal/cri/ _______________________________________________ mtt-devel mailing list mtt-de...@open-mpi.org Subscription: http://www.open-mpi.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/mtt-devel Link to this post: http://www.open-mpi.org/community/lists/mtt-devel/2014/06/0634.php
