Hi, Is there an Nmap stable branch, perhaps post-5.00 at this time, in the SVN repository or otherwise? I'd expect it to contain only important post-release fixes for distros to pull for their packages. The version number should probably be adjusted to include a "patchlevel", like 5.00.1 (or 5.00.001 if you prefer) - projects such as bash and VIM do it this way. Also, what branch was used for the 5.00 release? I've just checked out from SVN using the basic instructions at http://nmap.org/book/install.html#inst-svn and what I got calls itself 4.90RC2 in nmap/docs/nmap.usage.txt (maybe in other places as well), whereas the 5.00 release has 5.00 in that file indeed. Yet the version I checked out is otherwise newer code in many places (and it is a development rather than a stable branch). -- Alexander Peslyak <solar at openwall.com> GPG key ID: 5B341F15 fp: B3FB 63F4 D7A3 BCCC 6F6E FC55 A2FC 027C 5B34 1F15 http://www.openwall.com - bringing security into open computing environments _______________________________________________ Sent through the nmap-dev mailing list http://cgi.insecure.org/mailman/listinfo/nmap-dev Archived at http://SecLists.Org
