Nothing against updating package versions _as long as it happens in a controlled manner_! Committing a new feeds.conf with new tags and/or revision numbers would be such a way to do that. These are two different discussions!
Right now the exact software that is being build is dependent on the state of numerous repositories (1 plus the number of feeds that are enabled in feeds.conf). By having the tags,revision numbers or git refs in feeds.conf that would be reduced to exactly 1. > > > P.S: If you need a specific revision for bugtracking/testing, you should be > smart enough to figure out how to get there. Oh? There is no way to tell what the current revision of the packages svn repository was at the time when I checked out backfire@24953 and ran scripts/feeds without me having access to my original working directory (okay, other than bisect the repository and see what revision was actual on that date) This scenario is exactly why organisations use source control systems to prevent problems like this (laptops get stolen, hdd crash etc...). Therefore a repository should define the complete state of a software build, including 'external sources' like feeds. I did not intend to mock anybody by saying "time to grow up". I said it because I think that some are forgetting that OpenWrt is also used by bigger organisations which have just a few extra requirements to make it fit for them.
