That you don't withhold other development while waiting for rc1, rc2, rcN, ... - other patches, including disruptive ones and those that introduce new features, can be applied in the meantime to trunk/ . As for bugfixes, they can be merged up or down between the branch and trunk as needed. -- Best regards, Andrzej Bialecki <>< ___. ___ ___ ___ _ _ __________________________________ [__ || __|__/|__||\/| Information Retrieval, Semantic Web ___|||__|| \| || | Embedded Unix, System Integration http://www.sigram.com Contact: info at sigram dot com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
