Actually, the way it typically works at httpd-space (which your new policy is based on) is that you would next create 6.1.0 as a forever development branch. Committers apply each patch they believe belongs to the 6.2.0 release, and things are removed and readded as various votes and discussions proceed. When the crowd is satisfied that tomcat 6.1.0 represents everything that is part of the next general release (by a vote, obviously), it's branched to 6.2.0 (ending the life of the 6.1.0 branch) and that API becomes the reference for the entire lifespan of 6.2.0. E.g. API changes all happen in branches/6.1.0 and never happen in branches/6.2.0 Of course tomcat can choose it's own way, but it seemed like you were skipping a step if you aimed to emulate the even's-odd's way of doing things. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
