it seems that the CVS process needs a bit of refinement.
there are no (from what I can see) clear "release points" or
tags in the system.
it would be nice to have a
ast-release
ast-stable
ast-current
style environment.
with
release == a dot release like 1.1. You can run a
"production" system with this code. Major/Minor
bugs have been fixed and all features drivers
work.
stable == a version that compiles and doesn't have
bugs that break major things. Its newer than
release, but its at least stable. When you
grab this version you probably won't break a
production system.
current == Active devel system, latest features and latest
bugs :). By pulling this into your system you
run the risk of something breaking, but you also
get latest features.
The *BSD world seems to do a pretty good job of keeping these
threads running and its nice to have clear lines on what code
is what.
just my worthless .02 worth.
