Ok, I agree that gnome-major-minor branches have some merit (the older the less merit) but I cannot really see any merit on branches such as CORBA_ENABLED, so at least we have some kind of agreement there. But note that CORBA_ENABLED wasn't completely merged, if you drop the branch you'll loose 2 commits. =O -- Felipe Contreras _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
