[reply to *THIS* one, not the one with the wrong reply-to: -alpha]
I don't know why the participants of this will not bring this to -arch
for discussion..... So I will.
The proposal on the table is an allowance in our policy that in -CURRENT,
a shared lib's version number may be bumped to
"<-CURRENT_MAJ_VER_NUMBER>XY", where XY=00 initially when the FreeBSD
major version is bumped (ie, right after a new -STABLE branch is
created).
[note we may want to postpone the bumping until the first non-compatible
change to help keep track of which libs are incompatible with the latest
-STABLE]
At any point along the development of -CURRENT that a shared version bump
would be helpful.
One month (or so) before the -CURRENT --> -BETA change (ie, feature
slush) we change the shared libs' version numbers to the next consecutive
value from what is in the latest -STABLE.
Opinions?
