Re: 5.0.1 status

 

As a packager, I'd prefer to have both the 5.0.0 and 5.0.1 tags on the same commit, if it turns out that nothing has changed in the libs.

The reason is that the Fedora spec file only has one version number, yet it pulls in 7 separate tar balls.  It would definitely be awkward to have multiple tar ball versions contributing to a single RPM.

If not then 5.0.1 should continue to ship with the libs tagged as 5.0.0 (It would not make much sense to add a new tag onto the same commit. I would even argue that this might confuse users who would expect changes if a new tag is created.)
