Sorry to be silent on this issue so far... I'm trying to patch 0.40 and "MAIN" in parallel - however, I don't think I've checked MAIN in for a while so they might appeat out of sync.
I'm also intending to look over "devel" and incorporate some of its features into MAIN, but this is a large project that I haven't yet got started on. cheers Miller On Sat, Dec 02, 2006 at 04:29:51PM -0500, Hans-Christoph Steiner wrote: > > Sounds like a very good plan. > > One possible difficulty is that Miller has a stable_0_40 branch now > in addition to MAIN, and some patches are included in stable_0_40 > that are not in MAIN (yet?). > > And an FYI: you could use the autobuild stuff as is, right now. > > .hc > > > On Dec 2, 2006, at 8:42 AM, Thomas Grill wrote: > > >Hi all, > >since things have been cleared up now, and obviously i have been > >assigned the role of the "keeper of the devel", i'm thinking of how > >to proceed with the mentioned branch. > > > >A few points i'm considering: > >- I have no interest in maintaining a branch open for the public, > >when i'm the only user of it.
