Well, I think it's a matter of perception. It would take a simple git tag for me to be able to install QGIS 2.2.0. For somebody else it'd take a .deb or .rpm or .exe package instead. The way I see it, a release should be considered "published" as soon as a versioned tarball with the source code is made available somewhere on the internet. It may be a good habit, in the future, to tag "release candidates" for packagers to test them before going final. --strk; _______________________________________________ Qgis-developer mailing list Qgis-developer@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer
