It is not that important whether there are "proper" releases or just implicit releases in SCM. You can package whatever version you consider most suitable for Debian users. The important thing is how much the released versions (whatever the _release_ is) retain backward compatibility and whether they are stable enough or the stable versions can be easily identified. If most versions in SCM satisfy this then it's OK. For instance, if there are packages A, B, C depending on a library L then there should be a clearly stable version of L which can be used by all the A, B, C packages. If A works only with version L-1 (and not with L-2 or L-3), B only with L-2 and C only with L-3 or when the Debian maintainer has to test versions from L-1234 to L-1243 to find out which one of them (if any) is sufficiently bug free then L is a packaging headache not worth the effort. _______________________________________________ pkg-common-lisp-devel mailing list pkg-common-lisp-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-common-lisp-devel
