That was what I was thinking about (and other distros with similar release cycles). But even among our own developers I don't know we can just throw a switch and say "install gmime 3.0 before you git pull". I guess the other point is even with backports, there is still the issue of security support for older releases. We'll need to maintain the 2.6 stuff in a branch, even if it only gets security/severe bug updates. Another question is how long Jeff plans to support 2.6 with bug fixes. d _______________________________________________ notmuch mailing list notmuch@notmuchmail.org https://notmuchmail.org/mailman/listinfo/notmuch
