This is sort of the way that linux does it. I am not going to keep the snapshots at the same revision as the net release. *I* would find the confusing. Also, I don't know what people mean when they say 1.1.y-YYYYMMDD. We don't have enough room in the utsname field for this. However, I have modified uname() so that the snapshot date is reported as the release date and an 'S' is added to the revision. I think that Corinna was just implying that we already have everything that has been requested, though. cgf
