Re: [Fractdev] patch numbering

Tim,

Jonathan, how do you want to handle patch numbers now that we are using CVS? Does each commit to CVS correspond to a patch number.

Upon reflection, I'm not sure that's necessary, though until I get used to the new system, I might increment the patch number for each commit just for safety.

CVS maintains an internal revision number. What I have done is commit fairly often, which effectively provides a backup of my work. Then, when I am ready to release a patch, I tag all the files with that patch number. I don't use the internal CVS numbers for anything. Jonathan
