As far as I understand, the SF system keeps all past releases of each file that is published. I think it would suffice to put two links on the download page for each package one to the version to use with the development snapshots of Octave and one to be used with the stable release. For example the download page for a package now looks like this: Package Name: ANN Package Version: 1.0.1 Last Release Date: 2008-08-23 Package Author: Various Authors Package Maintainer: Xavier Delacour Download this package Read package function reference Other information License: GPL version 2 or later Web page: http://octave.sf.net Dependencies: octave (>= 2.9.12) autoload: yes systemrequirements: swig We could cahnge it to something like Package Name: ANN Package Author: Various Authors Package Maintainer: Xavier Delacour License: GPL version 2 or later Web page: http://octave.sf.net autoload: yes systemrequirements: swig Release for Octave Stable Package Version: 1.0.1 Last Release Date: 2008-08-23 Dependencies: octave (>= 2.9.12) Download this package Read package function reference Release for Octave Development Package Version: 1.1.1 Last Release Date: 2009-02-10 Dependencies: octave (>= 3.1) Download this package Read package function reference What would you think? c. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), March 24-25, 2009, San Francisco, CA -OSBC tackles the biggest issue in open source: Open Sourcing the Enterprise -Strategies to boost innovation and cut costs with open source participation -Receive a $600 discount off the registration fee with the source code: SFAD http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H _______________________________________________ Octave-dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/octave-dev
