'stable' tag
Hi,
For those not on cocoon-docs, CVS Forrest is now able to build the Cocoon
site:
http://forrestbot.cocoondev.org/sites/cocoon-site/index.html
I'd like to propose we create a tag, 'stable' (or something) that
indicates the most recent version of Forrest that is known to be capable
of building Cocoon. Whenever the need arises (eg. a bugfix is made), we
can update the tag to with 'cvs tag -f stable'. The idea is that users
who want 0.5 capabilities without the risk of the very latest changes can
do 'cvs update -r stable', and get something that mostly works. The
Forrestbot can also use this tag when building 0.5 sites.

Yes please, excellent idea. That tag name is appropriate.

FYI: The page does not validate. It's mostly due to the bugzilla link
in the nav, but there are other (relatively minor) issues in the markup
as well.

Seems OK with me, since this will only be a temporary situation until we
release 0.5 (mind the hidden message in there ;-)

sounds reasonable - my concern was just the ability to "go back in
time" to the stable version that was used to build the docs for a given
release of Cocoon.

I thought the tag might be useful to projects other than just Cocoon.

AFAIK, tags don't cost anything in CVS, so we could have both:
- 'stable' is a rolling tag, indicating stability as measured against the
ability to build Cocoon docs
- 'stable-240303' means the stable snapshot at 24/3/03

Shouldn't the tag name contain more info, like "cocoon_doc-2_1" instead
of "stable"?
This might be needed to allow older cocoon docs to be regenerated later
on (should the need arise ;-)
