Jack doesn't have that kind of intimate access to (and veto power over!) the release process, so there's going to be some kind of compromise somewhere. I think it should be limited to post-release changes in the Mac subtree alone, and that he should tag the whole tree with mac-rIJAK for easy reproducibility later.

Yes, I think I'll do just that. I don't like the proliferation of tags, but in general there's no way I can be sure to keep up with the unix/windows release process, there being other things needing my time too:-) Although for 2.2a3 this weeks things look pretty good, -- Jack Jansen | ++++ stop the execution of Mumia Abu-Jamal ++++ Jack.Jansen@oratrix.com | ++++ if you agree copy these lines to your sig ++++ www.cwi.nl/~jack | see http://www.xs4all.nl/~tank/spg-l/sigaction.htm
