One can consider equally bad style to break the relative stability of trunk without any kind of notice or discussion on the list as well. > I've put a lot of work into those changes, and while I may > have missed some places, it would've been better to just fix those -- > Like in "after me the deluge?" ... Well, frankly I had no idea of the extent of the changes required, and I didn't want to take the burden to clean up the mess after everything went loose. It's true that normally I tend to take care of such details, but at that time I was quite busy with other things (resync fixes), and didn't want to get distracted. If you had brought up the issue on the list in the first place, I would have got the chance to raise this timing issue. > instead of the current situation, which is frankly obnoxious (relying > on a version of a dependency that's neither release *nor* trunk). > True.

So what do we do now? Put in bold letters that trunk will get a bit unstable in the coming days? -- Christian --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Trac Development" group.
