Re: Rolling Release Vs. Versioned.

 

How exactly do you mean, Adrian? That the packages be .deb (as opposed to
.rpm)?

I do think we should retain versioning;

Lets say we have 1.0.0 released
1.0.1 would lead up to the next minor 'landmark' (when released, all ISO's
etc would default to that)
and 1.1.0 is more of a landmark, rather then a release.
