It's not impossible to just do +this as a matter of course as part of the process we go through and +increment subrel to a round number before handing over to QA... although +maybe I'm just a bit too anal about neat version numbers :p + +Col + + + + +-- + +Colin Guthrie +mageia(at)colin.guthr.ie +<A HREF="http://colin.guthr.ie/">http://colin.guthr.ie/</A> + +Day Job: + Tribalogic Limited [<A HREF="http://www.tribalogic.net/">http://www.tribalogic.net/</A>] +Open Source: + Mageia Contributor [<A HREF="http://www.mageia.org/">http://www.mageia.org/</A>] + PulseAudio Hacker [<A HREF="http://www.pulseaudio.org/">http://www.pulseaudio.org/</A>] + Trac Hacker [<A HREF="http://trac.edgewall.org/">http://trac.edgewall.org/</A>] +</PRE> + + + + + + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="005220.html">[Mageia-dev] Finalizing update process +</A></li> + <LI>Next message: <A HREF="005293.html">[Mageia-dev] Finalizing update process +</A></li> + <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> + <a href="date.html#5241">[ date ]</a> + <a href="thread.html#5241">[ thread ]</a> + <a href="subject.html#5241">[ subject ]</a> + <a href="author.html#5241">[ author ]</a> + </LI> + </UL> + +<hr> +<a href="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-dev">More information about the Mageia-dev +mailing list</a><br> +</body></html> |
