Creating a tarball of that is fundamentally no different as making a tarball from .dev: it's a snapshot of a moment in time, while a stable branch aims to "not break, keep working" during its lifetime. regards, Koen -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (Darwin) iD8DBQFH1qR/MkyGM64RGpERAi6XAKCtB7xWDb4Fd78g9hp17Mj111gimwCfXKq+ yi+rQpeQjnV+nsYenxZeJTM= =TxIL -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
