[IMPORTANT] BugZilla Versions

[Carsten Ziegeler <cz...@s-und-n.de>]

Hi,

we have now two cvs repositories for 2.x versions, one for 2.0 and one for
2.1;
but we have only one module entry in bugzilla.

Now, if you want to file a bug, you have to choose the version. Until
recently,
you could choose between the released versions (2.0, 2.0.1 etc) and "Current
CVS".
As we now have two "Current CVSs", this is not enough for us.
So, I guess we have two possibilities:
a) create a second bugzilla module for 2.1
b) create more versions

For a quick workaround, I followed b) and changed "Current CVS" to "Current
CVS 2.0"
and added "Current CVS 2.1". Of course, this might be a little bit
confusing.

So, what can we do?

Ah yes, good catch!

Hmm, I think "old" might create the wrong impression (old = not supported
anymore).
But I have no better suggestion :) ...

I don't like this, would prevent one from searching in all releases at 
the same time, wouldn't it?

Ok but there are several CVS repositories so it basically makes sense, 
it's just the repeated use of "current" that is confusing IMHO.

Maybe use

  old 2.0 CVS
  current CVS (2.1)

as versions names, and move to

   old 2.0 CVS
   old 2.1 CVS
   current CVS (2.2)

when 2.1 is released?
