Do you not think it should be done in the main CVS repository, or are you referring to the manpower required to do the work? I agree that, unless they want to, it isn't desirable for developers to spend anything more than a trivial amount of time with the 2.1 branch. However, I think that setting up a seperate distribution method would be counterproductive. I started this thread for a reason. I'm trying to figure out the best way for me, and any other willing souls, to try to make this work. I am not interested in continuing 2.1 development but just maintainence in key areas. What I will probably end up doing is simply making patches and seeing what happens to them, since that is more often than not the way to get things accomplished, but first I wanted to get any input that anyone has to offer. Thanks.
