So here's what I think would be the most human-readable version numbering scheme: In the trunk =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D Gnus 6.0 beta 1 cvs 2007-08-01 2007-08-02 .......... Gnus 6.0 beta 1 =3D> Tagged beta release Gnus 6.0 beta 2 cvs 2007-09-01 2007-09-02 .......... Gnus 6.0 beta 2 =3D> Tagged beta release [ etc, finally leading to Gnus 6.0 ] In the stable branch =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D (while the trunk gets Gnus 6.1 beta) Gnus 6.0 =3D> Tagged stable release Gnus 6.0.1 cvs 2007-10-01 cvs 2007-10-02 .......... Gnus 6.0.1 =3D> Tagged stable release Gnus 6.0.2 cvs 2007-11-01 cvs 2007-11-02 .......... Gnus 6.0.2 =3D> Tagged stable release [ etc ] In the GNU Emacs repository =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D Gnus 6.0.1 emacs cvs 2007-10-01 emacs cvs 2007-10-02 .......... Gnus 6.0.1 Gnus 6.0.2 emacs cvs 2007-11-01 emacs cvs 2007-11-02 .......... Gnus 6.0.2 [ etc ] And of course, the stable patchlevel tags should be synchronized between our repository and that of GNU Emacs. So, to summarize: Unstable versions are: Gnus . beta Stable versions are: Gnus .. For intermediate CVS versions, add: [emacs] cvs yyyy-mm-dd This is verbose, but quite clear I think. One could also wish to be more coherent between stable and beta numbering, in which case we could also think of: Gnus . patchlevel Wadya think ? --=20 Read the Jazz Blog !! http://jazzblog.didierverna.com Didier Verna, didier@lrde.epita.fr, http://www.lrde.epita.fr/~didier EPITA / LRDE, 14-16 rue Voltaire Tel.+33 (1) 44 08 01 85 94276 Le Kremlin-Bic=EAtre, France Fax.+33 (1) 53 14 59 22 didier@xemac= s.org
