Is that the reason why the branching was made in the phplib-stable cvs
tree and not, as one might expect, in the phplib tree?

I thought we settled to use the phplib repository for development and the
phplib-stable only for really stable stuff.

But okay, since the dev-snapshot is actually quite stable, at least for my
conditions here, one might be able to live with it and seen at the history
of all the files and the order in the phplib-stable tree (in comparison to
the overcrowded phplib tree) it's a good thing to do so.

Only that it surprised me that nowhere was explicitely noticed that one
should go for the stable tree.

Sorry to bother this list with this topic.

Perhaps I am just too picky.

Marko,

I think "we" pretty much decided by consensus among those who participated
that the php-lib-stable tree was where all releases would come from, and
that the current php-lib tree was far too full of unknowns to be usable.

Phplib developers can get ideas from things in php-lib, but I also believe
the consensus was that we needed to start a new development tree once we
had a real release (not a beta) from the -stable tree.  The CVS tress are
definitely in need of cleaning and organizing.

Yes, I remember the discussion.

Yes, I know as well, I think I was one of the first who asked to take the
snapshot into CVS to have a better control of what is going on, though I
am definitely not a phplib-developer.

The ONLY thing which made me nervous was that the announcing post from Joe
which started this thread didn't give that information that one has to use
phplib-stable. Someone reading only that post, who didn't follow the list
and wouldn't know about the final decision to use the stable tree, would
probably try to get the sources from phplib (the developer tree). Don't
you think?

That's all what I wanted to note.

OK, I better stop spamming everybody on this list with my useless remarks
about this. I don't want to blame anybody for something! I found the
sources myself, understood why it had to be done this way to keep
everything consistent, since that's what was the intention: to get rid of
this uncomfortable snapshots.

If nobody else was irritated than I shut up anyway. Never mind. I think we
are all happy that phplib develops and got more alive during the past
year. Good to see that finally CVS keeps control over the sources again.

Marko,

Sorry I misunderstood your question.  Yes, I agree with you.  It should be
made as clear as possible which tree to use.

I'll see if I can add a note someplace to the web site to make it clearer, as
well.

Thanks,
