When the actual 1.4 release is made, there's an exact Portage tree frozen in time that *is* that release, no? Whether its actually tagged in cvs or something, or only exists in the install isos, there is a version of the portage tree that I would call the 1.4 release. Or am I all wrong and noone keeps such close track of the Portage tree? Debian and the BSDs seem to keep pretty close tracks of their trees. When they make a release they fork the tree off and call the fork a stable or release version, just update it with security fixes, etc. On Tue, 24 Jun 2003 20:30:39 -0400 Jon Portnoy wrote: > I'm not sure what you mean. > > GRP is only built for releases (and only final releases).
