Re: dot five-o series versions - GDB 6.2.50


  Cut'n'paste error, or have I not understood the convention you were using
in that diagram?  Or both?

Mutter something rude, attempt #2. thanks :-)

Hello,

Ref: http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/translation/HTML/maintainers.html

The translators are looking for a versioning schema that makes it easy to undersand how two versions relate to each other. Unfortunatly, GDB's current versioning doesn't do this. Without knowing the policy, it's hard to know whats going on with:

    2004-09-03
    6.2_2004-09_03

consequently, I'd like to propose that things be changed to the following:

M.N.5x:
Indicate the mainline.  It's half way between releases -> .50.
Ex 6.2.50, 6.2.50_2004-09-03

M.N.9x:
Indicate pre release versions drawn from the branch.

M.N / M.N.O:
The release.

This leads to the sequence:

6.2.50_2004-09-03
6.2.50_2004-09-04
...
    <branch> -----------> <mainline>
6.2.90_2004-10-05     6.3.50_2004-10-05
6.2.91                6.3.50_2004-10-06
...                   ...
6.2.91_2004-10-10     6.3.50_2004-10-10
...                   ...
6.3 <release>         6.3.50_2004-10-11
...                   ...
6.3_2004-10-12        6.3.50_2004-10-12
...                   ...
6.3.1 <release>       6.3.50_2004-10-13
...                   ...
<close>               ...
                      ...
                           <branch> ----------> <mainline>
                      6.3.90_2004-10-05     6.4.50_2004-10-05
                      6.3.91                6.4.50_2004-10-06
                      ...                   ...
                      6.3.91_2004-10-10     6.4.50_2004-10-10
                      ...                   ...
                      6.4 <release>         6.4.50_2004-10-11
                      ...                   ...
                      6.4_2004-10-12        6.4.50_2004-10-12
                      ...                   ...
                      6.4.1 <release>       6.4.50_2004-10-13
                      ...                   ...
                      <close>               ...
                                            ...
