Thread: CVS tags for betas and release candidate
Hi there. I was just looking for the CVS tags for downloading the beta6 and the RC1 of 7.1 but there are only the following tags: REL_7_1_BETA2 REL_7_1_BETA3 REL_7_1 Aren't there tags for the versions I am looking for? Regards,Matthias

Nope ... doing the tags didn't work as well as was hoped, so we've just been using date ranges instead ... release itself will be tag'd ...

If you use `cvs tag -d symbolic_tag...', the sym- bolic tag you specify is deleted instead
ofbeing added. Warning: Be very certain of your ground before you delete a tag; doing
thiseffectively discards some historical information, which may later turn out to have been
valuable.
