Subject: Re: [gentoo-dev] Gentoo 1.4 final against rc's X-Archives-Salt: ab312988-c67f-483e-b1e0-a8b535f7ac87 X-Archives-Hash: cfbf11f176a69e35a569001e03b9f914 --=.lHSu.SMGl5ut2? Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I'd like to say I've always considered the version cat'd into /etc/gentoo-release as the definitive version. Since packages change every day, baselayout is certainly more rare in it's updates. Considering that, and that fact that on a baselayout update most,if not sometimes all, of your core configuration files are either altered or presented for trivial updates, I consider this to be true versioning. I also believe that the rc should be changed to prc (packaged release candidate) solely on the fact that it is just basically a prepacked timesaver for the regular joe. The ambitious have and will continue to either burn their own stage one-three or get the tarballs and hack it together in their own fashion. I think the change to prc would reflect the " this is the approved package set-up during the 1.4 phase of baselayout " rather than the "oh no, a new version,we gotta upgrade " paranoia. Or I could be paranoid myself..... -- Chuck Brewer Registered Linux User #284015 Get my gpg public key at pgp.mit.edu!! Encrypted e-mail preferred. --=.lHSu.SMGl5ut2?
