So support just the most recent frozen release plus the release that is currently under development. eg. when 2.6.6 opens, 2.6.4 will be deleted. When the releases are similar, this is pretty easy to do; but when they diverge, real work is required, including merging, testing etc. So I'd like to delete 2.4.22 and 2.4.24 support. When 2.4.26 closes, I'll delete 2.4.25 too. Let me know if this is a problem for you. thanks, -Len ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
