Oscar's policy looks fine with me... just to clarify, it doesn't mean I should have made a branch, just set a "current" tag? Are tags (for pcl-cvs) of the form pcl-cvs-rX.YY appropriate? It seems you want the package name in there since XEmacs and all the packages are in the same repository. Or maybe not. If all have "current" at least we should be good. I'll make a current tag now. greg
