I'd like to say I've always considered the version cat'd into |
| 2 |
/etc/gentoo-release as the definitive version. Since packages change every |
| 3 |
day, baselayout is certainly more rare in it's updates. Considering that, |
| 4 |
and that fact that on a baselayout update most,if not sometimes all, of your |
| 5 |
core configuration files are either altered or presented for trivial |
| 6 |
updates, I consider this to be true versioning. I also believe that the rc |
| 7 |
should be changed to prc (packaged release candidate) solely on the fact |
| 8 |
that it is just basically a prepacked timesaver for the regular joe. The |
| 9 |
ambitious have and will continue to either burn their own stage one-three or |
| 10 |
get the tarballs and hack it together in their own fashion. I think the |
| 11 |
change to prc would reflect the " this is the approved package set-up during |
| 12 |
the 1.4 phase of baselayout " rather than the "oh no, a new version,we gotta |
| 13 |
upgrade " paranoia. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
Or I could be paranoid myself..... |
