Replying to [comment:15 [EMAIL PROTECTED]: > - we are going to provide instructions for users, to apply patches without testing beforehand by an editor > > - the codebase is going to be different from build to build, so support (especially) and testing is going to be also problematic > > Another problem; what we are going to do in the case of a stable book release? I have exactly the same concerns regarding quality management, and supportability of the book. I'll try and dig out my trivial(ish) script that does automatically create an LFS-formatted patch from the latest available patches. That helps editors to quickly create a patch that can be tested in the same manner as other updates. I don't see any particular advantages to having users build against what will quite likely be untested (by us) patches, and will certainly change throughout the lifetime of a stable book release.
