What´s with Firefox 4.0? What´s with Thunderbird 5.0? Mozilla has adopted a completely different versioning scheme for their products. Mozilla no longer releases minor versions.
openSUSE too and give it as an example.
And Linux 3.0 was also a dot-0 release No, it was not. It was a rebranded 2.6.x release for the simple reason Linus Torvalds liked that number better. It had none of the characteristics of a traditional major software release: It didn't break compatibility, it didn't feature a major rewrite of core parts, etc.
Nevertheless, it was released as Linux *3.0* so, it´s a major release, even without the typical characteristics.
and*was* for end users. The Linux community (just like most other FOSS communities) does no releases targeted at end users. Distributors do that.
Well, okay, I was wrong, point for you.
Stop such_moronic_ arguments. You are citing exceptions as the norm.
I could say the same about you. And quite frankly, you should except that every release that is pushed out to the crowd should work (I don´t mean now bugs, that would be impossible. I mean that it works, and that people don´t feel like Jiri.)
From Apache httpd 2.0.0, to GNOME 2.0, to Linux 2.6.0, to Mac OS X 10.0.0, to Windows 6.0 (Vista) the IT world is filled with not fully matured software releases as x.0. In the latter two examples those were even sold to customers.
(BTW: People who cant even use the "Repy to list" feature, should not call other people's arguments as moronic.)
Okay, you might not know, so I will tell you: Sometimes I answer to the the list and get something back like: posting to list denied to wtf´s reason... I don´t know. So, I normaly try to answer both the list and the person to which post I reply. That´s why I did it. And people, who don´t know the circumstances of others shouldn´t blame their methods ;-) thanks, -- -o) Kim Leyendecker /\\ openSUSE Ambassador, openSUSE Wiki Team DE _\_v http://www.opensuse.org - Linux for open minds -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
