I took the liberty of creating a link called 4.1 at
http://ftp.squeak.org/4.1/ linked to trunk. When we are close to a release we can convert it to a directory and go from there. I considered calling it 4.1alpha or 4.1beta but although we have been using that directory structure for some years now I wonder if that isn't rather pointless. At best it leaves a broader base directory structure that has to be cleaned up occasionally. Ken signature.asc (197 bytes) Download Attachment |

However, it does leave open the question where to put the final 4.1 files when they're ready :-) What's your thought on how to deal with that? Cheers, - Andreas |

However I think I must be missing your point? No, I was just thinking needlessly complicated thoughts :-) This will work just fine, thanks. Cheers, - Andreas |
