No Freddie, the discussion is about the brokenness in 0.7.0 which those patches propose to fix. I would have submitted them long ago if they had been tested. There are of course more ways to fix the b0rk, one of which is to revert the commits which introduced the problem. > posted AFTER rc2 rcs mean nothing. Maybe you think they do, or want them to do, but downstrean consumers could not care less about rcs. See how even Linux fails at getting rcs tested as widely as the release. It's ridiculous to think that OpenOCD would get more attention from downstreams than the kernel gets. So, don't bother with rcs, just do releases - have master releasable at all times. As Øyvind points out, there seems to be tremendous momentum required to get to that point.. > why should it be top priority for OpenOCD? Yeah, who cares what gets released as long as there are releases, because *releases* mean progress! The kids story about the naked emperor comes to mind. > If users of Debian are fine with having 0.5.0 as stable and testing Users of debian have pretty much zero influence on what gets packaged.
