I think the beta numbering scheme used in automake in the past was odd letters (aceg...) for devel snapshots, and even letters (bdfh...) for betas. That is, if you aren't ready for 1.11.2, then the beta would be named 1.11.1b. But never having done an automake release myself, I can't say that for certain. At any rate, as long as your result is monotonically increasing (larger than the last release, and smaller than the planned 1.11.2), we should be okay. -- Eric Blake ebl...@redhat.com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
