[Shorewall-devel] [RFC] Shorewall patch (point) releases
From: Tom Eastep <teastep_at_nospam>Date: Thu Jul 19 2012 - 14:31:53 GMT
To: Shorewall Development <shorewall-devel@lists.sourceforge.net>
It has been my practice for some time to always upload all of the
packages when one of them changes. This includes patch releases such as
4.5.5.3.
You may recall that I originally uploaded only changed packages but that
seemed to cause angst among the user population.
Recent questions from the Debian release team about the current practice
have prompted me to revisit the issue. As I see it, there are three
possible approaches:
1) Continue to release all packages.
2) Continue to release all packages and indicate which of them
actually changed. That would allow individual packagers to release
some or all of them.
3) Only release the changed packages.
We could, of course, have one policy for regular releases and another
one for patch releases.
I welcome all comments and suggestions.
