Window Maker(-crm) is meant to be stable, so you can take today's git with no fear despite the last (random) 0.94.0-crm tag being 17 months old. If I tag 0.94.1-crm today because 0.94.0-crm is already "too old" (in an arbitrary sense of age) would that make the decision to use it easier? And what if next week somebody finds and fixes a bug and I update the git repo? By definition the new "random moment" would be better than plain 0.94.1-crm, so why care about the tag? The git repo is never in a "random moment"; it's always in a state with fewer known issues and annoyances. -- To unsubscribe, send mail to [email protected].
