It's mentioned at http://techbase.kde.org/Policies/SVN_Commit_Policy#Code_review_by_other_developers and http://techbase.kde.org/Policies/CMake_and_Source_Compatibility (written by you :D) However, (I'm no expert, but) I can't think of a time where you could break source compatibility while keeping binary compatibility. Or at least it's strange to require one but not the other. -- Matt Williams http://milliams.com _______________________________________________ Powered by www.kitware.com Visit other Kitware open-source projects at http://www.kitware.com/opensource/opensource.html Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Follow this link to subscribe/unsubscribe: http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake
