Ok, I just updated main to be '5.2.dev'. The idea being that 'dev' indicates the development of (unreleased) 5.2. Let the screaming begin. DS> Robert> Sort of.

I don't particularly like the idea, but I can see the writing on the wall... so, ok. If there are pending new features, it's just as easy to create a x.y+1-new features branch, to be merged back into main once x.y patches has been created. -- Robert Story; NET-SNMP Junkie <http://www.net-snmp.org/> <irc://irc.freenode.net/#net-snmp> Archive: <http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum=net-snmp-coders> You are lost in a twisty maze of little standards, all different. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email sponsored by Black Hat Briefings & Training.
