I don't think this is "safer", I think it is "simpler". However, things should be a simple as possible, but no simpler! I keep a text file called "release_process.text", that lists all the things to do when I do a release. Think of it as a shell script run by the "Matthew" processor :). It has a lot more in it than "bump version number"! -- -- Stephe _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
