but this opens up the question of whether apache is making the right tradeoff between the risk of potental reputational damage due to poor quality podling releases against actual reputational damage resulting from this arrangement (which is somewhat annoying for users and developers).
I've seen this referral to "poor quality" (or however it is termed and whether it refers to legal aspects, release procedures, build process, code quality or whatever) come up in this discussion repeatedly and I still do not understand why it comes up here. If anything is of "poor quality", then that should be discussed in the release process. In other words, if it is serious enough, then it should prevent publishing the release at all. Or, if it is even more serious, then it should be revoked from the mirrors. Apart from that, it should not have any influence on the standard distribution channel. Branding the thing different makes sense to me. incubator-foo rather than apache-foo, jakarta-foo, or whatever-foo makes sense. So does INCUBATING0.2, as you suggested. But that's a completely different thing. Jochen -- Emacs 22 will support MacOS and CygWin. It is not yet decided, whether these will be used to run Emacs or the other way round. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
