Guys, Please call it what you want, but make it clear in the Handbook!!! From reading the handbook I thought of -STABLE as a relatively static code base, with just patches and fixes added now and then. It seems that -STABLE is a little more dynamic than that. Right now there are only mentions about -STABLE and -CURRENT in the handbook. -RELEASE should be made a little bit more clear. And definitely, if you installed -RELEASE once, and then updated it, it should be named something else. Perhaps -RELEASE should only be used for releases ... 4.3-RELEASE could be an alias to 4.3.0 and then we could get 4.3.1, 4.3.2, etc ... However it should be _clear_ that whenever you check out using cvs you get a snapshot of what is in _between_ releases (or microreleases). Lic.
