Again, why was that changed? At least for making a release tag exist, if we can't have a freeze on .dev (or otherwise an agreement that .dev should focus on making the testing packages build and work, over new work) making a temporary branch to cherry-pick into seems to be the next possible solution. Otherwise the release tag is just another testing tag... -- Tom Rini Mentor Graphics Corporation
