Okay, I created a stable_updates subdirectory on the download area (Cole you own it !) and moved the 3 existing releases there. I think that: - avoid confusion with usual releases - makes clear that they are updates - remove the need to change the names or releases i.e. it resolves the confusion in the simplest way and allow to point to the exact location for each content. Cole, would you mind updating the docs to point to that new sub-directory ? thanks, Daniel -- Daniel Veillard | libxml Gnome XML XSLT toolkit http://xmlsoft.org/ daniel@xxxxxxxxxxxx | Rpmfind RPM search engine http://rpmfind.net/ http://veillard.com/ | virtualization library http://libvirt.org/ -- libvir-list mailing list libvir-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
