CVS tags for betas and release candidate

From

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 ...

You know you can nuke tags right?

             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.

Instead of asking why a piece of software is using "1970s technology,"
start asking why software is ignoring 30 years of accumulated wisdom.
