I only see one other person who has even supported your point of view here, WHY must you continue to do bad things to the REVISION number as the RELEASE engineer. When I held that role there was now confusion about what was running on any system I looked at or helped someone with, now that you have this role there is mass confusion, might I wonder if Jordan is doing something wrong?? Might I find out that the REVISION number is going backwards. Might I try and complain and have it fixed during the next release cycle only to have Jordan insist on continueing to make the same error just becase that is the way he has been doing it. Looks like 5 to 1 in favor of what I stated, so what, your going to pull the Release Engineer Hat out and say NO? Well, if you do everytime I have to spend 15 minutes instead of 1 minute to figure out what someone is running so I can help them I am going to send you an invoice for that time instead of billing my client for it! Nahhh.... I'll just make it my first commit after you open the RELENG_2_2 branch (another error by you, until then all RELENG tags had 3 digit components :-() to set REVISION to 2.2.5 and BRANCH to STABLE. -- Rod Grimes rgrimes@gndrsh.aac.dev.com Accurate Automation, Inc.
