Dear Dimitry, following problems: * TAGs: A release - and its corresponding source code - should be reproducible from CVS. This ends up that we have to tag SimplyHTML with FreeMind tags. * Checkout: Thus we can't simply checkout the current version of SimplyHTML to get its sourcecode, because this is not at all reproducible without using the same timestamp. You can't get the sources from the tag FM_0_9_0Beta17, for example, and produce the same release version two years later as the SimplyHTML sources have changed. * We don't change SimplyHTML *especially* for FreeMind as you check in every change into the SimplyHTML CVS. * Having more SimplyHTML releases is a big benefit for its users. Remember, Dimitry, that you as the project head are responsible for new and fresh releases. * In fact, there aren't so many FreeMind releases the past years. From my point of view, it sufficies to use a stable release of SimplyHTML in FreeMind only in the FM release versions. Sure, it would be nice to have it in alphas too, but this is not that essential. * Another main point: you check in the jar of SimplyHTML and I can rely on it that this jar is sufficiently stable and tested. If I add the source code from CVS some days later to make a release, this is in general different as you may have changed its sources without making a new jar (you said, that you frequently change the code). Thus it is not guaranteed that the sources I fetch from CVS do even compile!
Thus, I still prefer that you make proper SimplyHTML releases, tag your source code and we don't put the sources into FreeMind. This is - by far - more easy and less error prone. If you don't agree, I would like you to add the SimplyHTML sources as a separate source package to every (stable?) release we make, to tag the SimplyHTML CVS repository with FreeMind tags and to take care that sources and jars are identical. But, from my point of view, these source packages can as well be hosted in the SimplyHTML project and are then more easily to find for everybody (not only FreeMind programmers...).
