4.1 FTP Directory (link)

Ken Causey-3
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.

Thanks, and I agree that it's better to have just one 4.1 directory.
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,

I'm not sure I understand you question.  I expected when we were ready
to disconnect 4.1 from the trunk we would simply

$ cd <ftp root directory>
$ rm 4.1
$ mkdir 4.1
$ cp <relevant files from trunk> 4.1/

and go from there.  However I think I must be missing your point?

No, I was just thinking needlessly complicated thoughts :-) This will
work just fine, thanks.
