[Asterisk-Users] cvs tags / release process

[John Brown]

it seems that the CVS process needs a bit of refinement.

there are no (from what I can see) clear "release points" or
tags in the system.

it would be nice to have a 

ast-release
ast-stable
ast-current

style environment.  

with  

release == a dot release like 1.1.  You can run a 
           "production" system with this code.  Major/Minor
           bugs have been fixed and all features drivers
           work.

stable ==  a version that compiles and doesn't have
           bugs that break major things.  Its newer than
           release, but its at least stable.  When you 
           grab this version you probably won't break  a
           production system.

current == Active devel system, latest features and latest
           bugs :).  By pulling this into your system you
           run the risk of something breaking, but you also
           get latest features.


The *BSD world seems to do a pretty good job of keeping these
threads running and its nice to have clear lines on what code
is what.



just my worthless .02 worth.
