Remember that the cvsupd that YOU contact is NOT the master server. The stamp would need to be inserted ONLY when transferring from the master server. All other distribution systems, including the publicly accessable cvsupd servers and ctm would simply propogate the designation that they receive. This could be most readily done by having it as a string in a file. >>The only objection ... may not be "user friendly". I guess we could do the following: Before release: 2.2 (9710061501) At release: 2.2.0 (RELEASE) After release: 2.2.0 (9710061703) Another Release: 2.2.2 (RELEASE) And then: 2.2.2 (9710061905) That way, anything other than a release would have a timestamp and the number of the previous release from which it was derived.
