Well, I might say this is a fairly accurate interpretation of the release numbers. >>> ^ My original question is in much better context here: is a minor >>> release supposed to be bugfix only?

Well, 0.14.1 is all about bugfixing, since it didn't depart much from 0.14.0. We could spend time talking about technicalities, but the purpose of minor releases is all about bugfixing, long before git came into the place. So I'm confused as why you think it hasn't been the case so far. Since I started releasing autotest (we picked up an arbitrary 0.9.0 at the time) A.B.C, where increments in C are bugfixes, *mainly*. If some new features came in, it was entirely my sloppiness. So, no changes whatsoever are needed. It's just that before git, I kept svn branches and done cherry picking of commits. With the change to git, I've experimented with tags in master, but it clearly it's not good enough for the purposes of keep the interfaces stable. Hence this thread was started. I imagine we can do the same with git, only a lot easier and reliably. -- Lucas _______________________________________________ Autotest mailing list Autotest@test.kernel.org http://test.kernel.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/autotest
