Re: Version 2

It will never reach that version number. I should explain: The version
number for rottenflesh is always composed of only "0" and ".". The
version is of the form <major>.<minor>.<bugfix>.
So, given that the current version is 0.000.0, a bugfix release would
be version 0.000.00, a minor upgrade wold be 0.0000.0, and a major upgrade
would be 00.0.0.
Furthermore, in the future I intend to follow this convention with
respect to the development vs stable release: If the number of zeros in
the <minor> section is prime, then the release is "stable", and if it is
equal to one or composite then it is a "development" release. Example:
0.00.0, 00.000.0000, and 000.00000.00 would be stable, while 0000.0.0,
00.0000.0, and 000.000000.00 would be unstable. (This scheme is based on
the scheme for Linux, but with the added feature that most <minor>
release numbers correspond to development releases, so that milestones
between stable releases can be marked in a clear fashion) Thus the next
stable major version will be 00.00.0 and the next stable minor version will
be 0.00000.0.
I'm very proud of the version-number scheme I've chosen, and I hope
that other projects will soon adopt it. I also hope to develop a version
control system that uses this base-0 numbering system

Memories of old freshmeat
by Cuvtixo - Jan 12th 2005 08:41:23
Do you remember before VA started running freshmeat.net?
They didn't take themselves seriously. The site had a old-
skool "hacker" feel. I seem to remember on the front page
a b&w line graphic of a big chunk of hanging meat on a
hook. Its hard to beleive its so well established now that a
parody of it can be made.
