proposal for 5.9.2 tag/branch



hello all,

in order to keep moving towards a 5.9.2 release, i would like to propose
that we make a cvs branch for 5.9.2.

i propose that the base of the branch be the current cvs head.
rationale: to the best of my knowledge there are no code changes
in src/ in progress at this time, and the cvs head version compiles
clean and passes run_testsuite.

(the defstruct/mset stuff is in share/ at this time.
i expect it will move into src/ after it settles.)

as to a naming convention, raymond toy wrote the following --

ray> How about release-5_9_2-base for the base of the branch,
ray> RELEASE-5_9_2-BRANCH for the branch label?  Various labels on the
ray> branch will be release-5_9_2-.  (Branch names in upper-case, tags
ray> in lower case.)

which sounds fine to me.

ray says he'll go ahead if this scheme gets some support from the mailing list.

comments?

all the best,
robert dodier
