I feel like my question suffered a hostile takeover from another thread :-) So in an attempt to get back to the original topic: does anyone think that a weekly "stable" tag would be a good idea?
Not necessarily. Abritrarily marking a particular point in time as "stable" is probably not effective. I think the other proposals in the thread about branching out the release line and applying critical patches to it would give a stable branch without the risk of the stable tag applying to something not really stable. As it stands, mythtv CVS is very stable a great percentange of the time. I run CVS all the time in my house and have really no issues with it related to comitted patches. Then again, I watch the commit list, keep up on the dev discussion, and know when something got checked in that is likely to break things.
I agree with Kevin. Tagging in CVS is not revisionable, so if this week's stable tag is bad it is non-trivial to roll back to a previous tag. I think a branch approach would be much more useful, especially for those of us not as diligent as Kevin.
