versioning

<< < (2/3) > >>

Master of Reality:
I recommend naming it ChaosNET OS.
Why not run the version number the same as most other Linux:
*.*.*
the first number being a major version number and mean that it is probly mostly incompatible with other numbers (like linux 2.*.* and 1.*.*).

the second number being the stable version number like keeping that odd numbers for development and even for the stable release.

the third number for the actual version number.

so it would probly be 1.0.0 or 1.1.1. Which did linux start at (the kernel)?

Yes, i suppose that makes sense, but hey, why cowtow to tradition?

re: linux, it started off at version 0.04 did it not? and went up to 0.05 quite fast. It also jumped from 0.2something or 0.3something right up to 0.95 if i'm right, but i could be wrong. Anybody actually remember it, since i am just remembering numbers out of a book?

voidmain:
Well I definitely remember 0.95.X, I also remember 0.8X.X versions.  I think the first Linux version I tried was in the 0.6X.X range...  Whichever version it was had not yet had support for hard drives and ran off of floppy disk only.

Master of Reality:
why not develop a string of symbols to use as markers for your versions??
why not name it 'gobourk' or 'Supermans Laundry'?

choasmaster:
i know, now, instead of release canidates, it "try" cuase i scewed it up once, and another time, i didn't use the combreloc method of ld. and i upgraded the kernel version that i was useing, i have the whole system with X and lesstif down to about 600 or so megs, and i could probably take it down farther but i don't want to risk it. i think the versio i am using right now is
ChoasNETOS v1.0 "curtians" try3
im probably going to be changing the try level pretty soon. also when using
