Re: [ANNOUNCEMENT] OpenSSL 0.9.6a Beta 3 released
From: Admin Mailing Lists [EMAIL PROTECTED] mlist no, there's no version rule per say. but AFAIA the vast mlist majority of the online society has adopted that a is alpha, b mlist is beta, and g is gamma, all meaning a pre-release to the mlist version number stated. And what does 'c' mean then? I just glanced at www.freshmeat.net, and in the right column, I could find at least three distributions having a version number ending with a 'c'. I found one package that obviously uses 'a' to mean "alpha", so I'm not saying you're wrong, just that both worlds exist, and that the only way to know is to look more closely at the package and use your gray cells. mlist so i have to download a version first, then read that include mlist file to see if i have the latest version? There are more ways to check that out, for example take a look at http://www.openssl.org/news/, where events are given in inversed chronoligical order. You'll notice that 0.9.6 came half a year ago, which should mean that 0.9.6a can hardly be an alpha of the same version. mlist which makes it even more unclear to people who take 'a' as mlist meaning alpha (a beta 3 to an alpha? huh?) Oh, come on, that was ridiculous... mlist it's true you're welcome to do versioning anyway you want..but mlist noone i know has ever taken 'a' as a newer release on the same mlist version.

Usually subversion with a a, b, c index are very minor version with very little change, and it's unusual to have a beta release for such a minor release. Most people would do 0.9.6a directly, and switch to 0.9.6b if anything needs to be changed, then 0.9.6c ... I think something similar to the linux kernel naming, like 0.9.6a-pre1, 0.9.6a-pre2, 0.9.6a-pre3 would be more explicit. (I just checked and found out the naming scheme for the pre-release was different for each of the 2.0, 2.2 and 2.4 pre-release :-) . It does not seem easy to find the ideal naming for pre-releases ...) __ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org Development Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I do agree on this. However, 0.9.6a is not just one bug-fix, it's the sum of the bug-fixes since the release of 0.9.6, so it's a little bit bigger than it would usually be, and since bug-fixes might generate new bugs, a full release cycle is needed... jean-marc.desperrier (I just checked and found out the naming scheme jean-marc.desperrier for the pre-release was different for each of jean-marc.desperrier the 2.0, 2.2 and 2.4 pre-release :-) .

Re: [ANNOUNCEMENT] OpenSSL 0.9.6a Beta 3 released
From: Admin Mailing Lists [EMAIL PROTECTED] mlist uhh, the 'a' on the version can be very deceiving. mlist it denotes an alpha version of the version number stated. I'm sorry, it does not. There are no such rules, except some people may do so (I have never before seen that definition). OUR definition is that the letter is a patch level (this has been quite common before, when did this change???). Please read the comments in crypto/opensslv.h for the exact way the version number and number text are currently defined. mlist From the email, it doesn't seem this is what you wish to convey. mlist It should either be 0.9.7a or 0.9.6pl1 or something like that. You seem to be missing that in the distribution file name as well as in the version text, there is the word "beta3".

Re: [ANNOUNCEMENT] OpenSSL 0.9.6a Beta 3 released
I built and tested openssl-0.9.6a-beta3 on Cygwin and DJGPP, under Windows98 and MS-DOS respectively. Since I am in the US, I built without idea or rc5. Both make and "make test" work without major problems, after the attached patch is applied. The DJGPP "make test" complains about "unable to load random state", since the entropy gathering daemon doesn't work under DJGPP, and the Windows trick of getting entropy from the screen doesn't apply. Note that both DJGPP and Cygwin still have problems with symbolic links when unpacking the tarball. Both need the "djcopy.sh" script to run before running Configure.
