Almost nobody bothers to test branches or releases, so this is entirely unrealistic. It's also too slow and inefficient, which would make the merge never happen. I've been doing testing with a wide variety of configurations and platform, that will suffice. Anyone that wants to test the branch can do so anytime they want. Any bugs post merge will get fixed like any other bugs, no big deal... - rob - _______________________________________________ Gnash-dev mailing list Gnash-dev@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnash-dev
