For F11 I think that is reasonable as it is close enough to end of support that a key fix for the older version is unlikely to be necessary. It is still an abuse of testing though. I think for F12 this abuse is probably too much. While Wesnoth normally shuts down support of older versions very quickly after releases there is more risk that we will need an update for the older version. Also the abuse of intent of testing seems more extreme when one is talking about 8 months instead of 2 months. Going for we may want to think about providing both the latest version and the version that was latest at release time. The default preferences and save areas can be set in the executable. There would still be some issues when switching between versions. And it is also probably a policy violation. Being able to update save files would be a very nice pony, but I can't see that working in general as there are data structure changes and campaign changes with major releases and 100% accurate conversion isn't going to be possible. _______________________________________________ games mailing list games@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/games
