Is there any particular reason that the project is using the same naming convention for stable releases? It appears to be a minor revision update from the standard release cycle. From an outsiders prospective, I don't know how anyone would think that 0.9.11.2 is not a standard update from 0.9.11, as there is no distinction in either the name from the distributed file, or documentation (unless I missed it denoted specifically on libvirt.org).
Would there be any objection to using a distribution file name libvirt-stable-0.9.11.2.tar.gz ?
To me, it is confusing, but that is just my opinion.
Thanks, Jason
Don't change the tarball name like that. That would just plain suck and be different than how 99% of projects out there do things.
Ok, but having the same download path is just as confusing, as it looks like an update to 0.9.11, when it is a different release.
But for all intents and purposes, it IS an update to 0.9.11 - it is 0.9.11 plus backported patches that you would otherwise get in 0.9.12, but where 0.9.12 adds features. -- Eric Blake eblake@redhat.com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
