The way Michael has the branches at present, I think you should be considering that fixes will always be added to future additions to 7.8.x, there will never be incremental additions to 7.8.0. So we should consider the 7.8.0 release as snapshot, not a branch which may get fixes independent of the development branch. This is the way LMS development has been managed for a while (there is only one 7.7 branch for instance) - we can question whether it is right or not, but its what we are tracking in CSOS. Don't see why we want to carry too many patches, so I think we should probably track 7.8.x in the testing repo at least. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Triode's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=99395 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
