[Mesa-dev] Mesa demos release & version number
Hi, Some distribution (like Fedora) are thinking about making new package for mesa demos but so far there is no release for it. Another issue is the versioning of mesa demos, i expect that mesa demos will be more stable than mesa thus i don't think we should follow mesa versioning but let it have it's own versioning (should we start with version 1.0 ?) If we can agree on versioning i can try to see if my kung-fu is good enough to do a release of mesa demo :) Cheers, Jerome ___ mesa-dev mailing list mesa-dev@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/mesa-dev

This will lead to some packaging work but i think it's best to start with a new versioning as i don't think we should follow mesa release given that there will likely be no change btw versions. I will add some compiling flags so one can select which demoset he wants. So you have a couple of days to oppose the release versioning.

I don't have a strong opinion on this, but I think it would confuse some people to see something like the "old" MesaDemos-7.8.x.tar.gz and the "new" MesaDemos-1.0.tar.gz in the same place. Everyone thinks larger version numbers indicate newer versions. I don't want to complicate the lives of distro maintainers too, as Dan implied. -Brian ___ mesa-dev mailing list mesa-dev@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/mesa-dev
