I use CVS version already. It's hard to communicate to others, sometimes you have to remember date of CVS checkout to provide reproducible results. Why not make snapshot distribution? E. g. set tag of 0.6.3, or 0.6.9 version or something of this kind. Maybe you could benefit from having intermediate releases between 0.6.2 (2003) and 0.6.now (2006). However unstable they would be. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
