[M3devel] [M3commit] CVS Update: cm3

[Olaf Wagner]

I just found this mail... too many of them.

Quoting Jay K <jay.krell at cornell.edu>:

This is no arcane feature, just the conventional way to pin a
bound configuration. We use the release branch to improve the release
quality, and certain points on it are marked with RC1, RC2, ...
The CVS concept for bound configurations is called a tag (non-branch tag).

RC2 is now in the past. We've already built most of the packages.
If there is something really important, we can move the tag again,
which means that we will probably have to rebuild a number of
installation packages.

If it's something that severely breaks the system, we may have
to do that. What do you say?

RC3 should be faster, as most of the needed infrastructure is now in
place. So it may be best to just know that the fix is in there.
