I wasn't aware of this. I know he had issues with merging up of random not particularly tested commits (I don't like that either, especially in the merge window) but he had said he was OK with merging up tagged releases. Like I say, it's mostly just for my mental model of what's going on - the fact that there are these topic branches and they're kept around is what's telling me to do things this way. _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list Alsa-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.alsa-project.org/mailman/listinfo/alsa-devel
