Is not only the auto-tester, using the branch name as the version you are releasing is self-documenting, you keep that branch and keep adding hotfixes while it's in the maintenance period. The process is very clear. I agree about having a release manager in charge of porting fixes back to the release branch (or stable branch once is released), but naming it release *and then deleting it when is released* makes everything very confusing! -- Leandro Lucarella (AKA luca) http://llucax.com.ar/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- GPG Key: 5F5A8D05 (F8CD F9A7 BF00 5431 4145 104C 949E BFB6 5F5A 8D05) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- El amor es como una reina ortopédica. -- Poroto _______________________________________________ dmd-beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.puremagic.com/mailman/listinfo/dmd-beta
