I kept quiet a while ago when Bob first suggested ditching the CVS
branch-2-0 and releasing CVS HEAD as 2.0 after a bit of stabilization.
Now I estimate that, for us combined, it might save us a man month
(whoohoo, maybe even a mythical one :) or more.
This would be a strong argument to do it, IMVHO.
The only problem is: I don't know how we can get CVS HEAD to work fine
with released Autoconf/Automake versions. ATM I'm not even sure which
issues there are:
- LTLIBOBJS in subdirs
- ?
The showstopper for this plan is that libtool is holding up the next
release of all the other autotools[1], so we can't release HEAD as is
without causing headaches for everyone else, because it relies on
unreleased versions of the tools that are waiting for another libtool
release.
branch-2-0 doesn't need to be perfect before we release it -- as long
as it has no known regressions, and good backwards compatibility, then
we can work out the wrinkles in patch releases.
I'm genuinely optimistic that we can release 1.9h within 2 weeks,
possibly less. And maybe 2.0 can follow the week after if we've done
a good job of testing.
Cheers,
Gary.
[1] Autoconf-2.60 needs M4-2.0 needs Libtool-2.0 (ISTR that
Automake-1.10 is waiting on something here too, but I can't
find a record of it in the archives).
