[gentoo-dev] How do you perform patchset versioning?

[Michael Haubenwallner]

Hello fellow developers,

I'm wondering what is Best Practice to "tag" a bunch of patches stored in some
VCS like [1], which are bundled into one single version of a patchset-tarball.

My current usecase is:
mico-2.3.13-r4[2] uses version 0.1 for the set of patches[3].

While I have to add a new patch into [3] (and bump to patchset-0.2),
I still want to be able to recreate the patchset-0.1 content from VCS
if necessary.

My idea was to set a CVS-Tag on [3] for what is in each patchset version, but
as I don't see /any/ (according to ViewVC) CVS-Tag on [1], I'm unsure...

So what are your workflows here?

Thank you!
