Hi there.

I was just looking for the CVS tags for downloading the beta6 and the
RC1 of 7.1 but there are only the following tags:

REL_7_1_BETA2
REL_7_1_BETA3
REL_7_1

Aren't there tags for the versions I am looking for?

Nope ... doing the tags didn't work as well as was hoped, so we've just
been using date ranges instead ... release itself will be tag'd ...

You know you can nuke tags right?

If you use `cvs tag -d symbolic_tag...', the sym-
bolic tag you specify is deleted instead of being
added. Warning: Be very certain of your ground
before you delete a tag; doing this effectively
discards some historical information, which may
later turn out to have been valuable.

Instead of asking why a piece of software is using "1970s technology,"
start asking why software is ignoring 30 years of accumulated wisdom.
