CVS, version management and release numbering

Post #1by PeFu » 15.05.2002, 07:27

I'm new to celestia development and I'm currently trying to track
down a bug which causes celestia to seg fault on my machine.
This bug seems to be new in 1.2.4 and wasn't there in 1.2.0.
To narrow my search I browsed through the CVS on SourceForge,
but I didn't see any CVS tags marking these releases.

Did I simply miss them or is there no release numbering scheme
established yet? What about $Revision$ or $Id$ keyword markers in the
sources? It is difficult to figure out which particular revision of for
example src/celengine/render.cpp was in 1.2.0, 1.2.2 or 1.2.4 without
downloading each complete source release and looking at the diffs.

Please give advice. :?:
