Well, I see myself several years ago :-) Lately I have learned git and now I'm using it for every project. But it is just my personal opinion, no pressure to you. > And people should not be using any > version of the code other than the latest one, because that's all > that we support. Nobody obliges you to support anything you don't want to. OTOH Debian stable uses live.2007.02.20 (see http://packages.debian.org/lenny/livemedia-utils), and even Debian unstable is behind (2010.04.09). > I suspect that the real reason why some people want to use a revision > control system is that they want to easily update to the latest > version of the code after they've made custom modifications to it > (i.e., without losing their modifications). Yes :-), at least in my case. You are releasing new versions often. You also don't support anything but the newest. So I have to be in sync with you. I also don't want to lose my modifications which I'll contribute back when they are ready. So I've settled with local git repository for now. In one branch I follow your releases, in the other I do my changes. It makes bit overhead, bit of discomfort and bit of fear I miss some release. But I can live with it. I respect your decision regarding release strategy even if I think there are better ones. So thank you for the code, I'll prepare patches in next days to see if they are acceptable for you.
