Maybe we need to get some kind of automated build/package system set up, and do something like nightly snapshots. It is easy to date-stamp a snapshot and compare datestamps. It should also be pretty easy for other projects to target snapshots instead of trying to track master directly. It should still be easy to track master to do testing and identify bugs as they are created. However, in terms of development and requiring particular versions, it does seem like nightly snapshots would be the better way to go. --Andrew Whitworth _______________________________________________ http://lists.parrot.org/mailman/listinfo/parrot-dev
