How, exactly? Because the procedure for person doing a release would be a few steps longer? Or because people would wonder why each other version is missing when looking at some version history or ftp server directory list? > What about using something like gimp-2.2.8-cvs-20050523.zip for cvs > snapshots? Well, for Win32 distributions of GIMP stuff, where such files are handled manually, and/or people have "out-of-band" knowledge that 2.2.8 wasn't released yet at 2005-05-23, that presumably is clear enough. But if one considers various Unix/Linux package management software, do they understand that for some packages "2.2.8-cvs-20050523" is earlier than "2.2.8", but on the other hand, for some other package, "1.2.3-cvs-20050523" would be later than "1.2.3" ? --tml _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
