i see no problem with this. there even does not need to be a 4.1.x which is declared as stable. > I see where you are coming from.

I like this much more than suggestion B, I have to admit ;) -- > the main reason is that I tend to commit very frequently, but a nightly > release will probably bad to follow up on. there need not be a nightly release. after ordering things in my mind, the main difference is: do we need to map -rcX to git snapshot 45b6c18f1d13be2ff89ee62024ba... or do we allready have this information somewhere accessible. besides that, we could skip the "rc" string and simply use 4.0.12-1 - like a build number which is used by some linux distributions. another nice aspect would be to integrate the git hash into the initial startup message or in some status output. see: > # cat /proc/drbd > version: 8.0.8 (api:86/proto:86) > GIT-hash: bd3e2c922f95c4fa0dca57a4f8c24bf8b249cc02 build by [EMAIL > PROTECTED], 2008-01-29 18:36:06 > Mar 23 06:25:27 webcluster02 rsyslogd: [origin software="rsyslogd" > swVersion="1.19.7" x-pid="2525"][x-configInfo udpReception="No" gitHash="bd3e2c922f95c4fa0dca57a4f8c24bf8b249cc02" > udpPort="514" tcpReception="No" tcpPort="0"] > Overall, these suggestions look easier to follow than mine.
