The easiest way to do date_versioned builds is probably to use eclipse-sdk-3.0.0_pre20031218 as if it was a cvs snapshot (in a way it is). I'm not clear how to integrate it with milestones though. I would still call it an alpha. Alpha releases are normally in-between releases that have no specified stability. So the new milestone might become eclipse-sdk-3.0.0_alpha6 If you want to integrate both a scheme like eclipse-sdk-3.0.0_pre6.20031218 might be an idea for an integration build that comes after milestone 6. I guess you'll just need to be flexible in the naming. > P.S. Don't take this as official support for Gentoo from the Eclipse > project.
