Unfortunatly, GDB's current versioning doesn't do this. Without knowing the policy, it's hard to know whats going on with: 2004-09-03 6.2_2004-09_03 consequently, I'd like to propose that things be changed to the following: M.N.5x: Indicate the mainline. It's half way between releases -> .50. Ex 6.2.50, 6.2.50_2004-09-03 M.N.9x: Indicate pre release versions drawn from the branch. M.N / M.N.O: The release. This leads to the sequence: 6.2.50_2004-09-03 6.2.50_2004-09-04 ... -----------> 6.2.90_2004-10-05 6.3.50_2004-10-05 6.2.91 6.3.50_2004-10-06 ... ... 6.2.91_2004-10-10 6.3.50_2004-10-10 ... ... 6.3 6.3.50_2004-10-11 ... ... 6.3_2004-10-12 6.3.50_2004-10-12 ... ... 6.3.1 6.3.50_2004-10-13 ... ... ... ... ----------> 6.3.90_2004-10-05 6.4.50_2004-10-05 6.3.91 6.4.50_2004-10-06 ... ... 6.3.91_2004-10-10 6.4.50_2004-10-10 ... ... 6.4 6.4.50_2004-10-11 ... ... 6.4_2004-10-12 6.4.50_2004-10-12 ... ... 6.4.1 6.4.50_2004-10-13 ... ... ... ... comment!
