Well, we started recommending using tags when making release a long time ago. It's even documented in [1]. As for branches, since an old GEP [2], we also recommend a way to properly do them (which is documented in [3]). So, maintainers, please read the linked pages if you're not sure you're doing the right thing ;-) Cheers, [1] http://live.gnome.org/MaintainersCorner_2fReleasing [2] http://cvs.gnome.org/viewcvs/*checkout*/gep/proposals/gep-4.html [3] http://live.gnome.org/MaintainersCorner Vincent -- Les gens heureux ne sont pas pressés. _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
