Did someone actually read what I wrote in my last email? I never saw a distro (besides Ubuntu, but ...) ship a version directly from SVN, did you? So why would the VCS we are using make a difference here? I will repeat myself, and tell you again what the current proposals are: 1) Have a someone maintain the mainline repository on Gitorious and prepare releases from there. Or my favourite: 2) Assign a release maintainer (practically we already did that for 2.0 and 2.1), and he will fetch all the loose ends from the dev repos and for version X his repository will be what becomes the official version. 2 is my favourite, because it is the freemost variant, dead simple, not too much additional workload, we can easily shift the load around, ..., etc. If we had someone insane in the team, or someone being paid for it, 1 would probably be the first logical solution, since (s)he would devote their lifetime to the game anyway. But since we don't 2 looks a lot more promising to me. --DevU
