Actually, I scan the last tag on maint branch using git descirbe; the ANNOUNCE posts are scanned by the RSS feed. Originally, git-scm scanned kernel.org download directory for the latest tarball, but it seemed that would break on something like the 1.4.4.5, so it also moved to the git describe method: http://repo.or.cz/w/git-homepage.git?a=blob;f=update.sh http://github.com/schacon/learn-github/tree/master/script/get_version.rb One Scott's concern that didn't occur to me was that a the time of release, we could have broken links between the time tag is created and tarballs are wrapped up. I *think* that in practice, this happens at the same time, I wonder if Junio could confirm that. -- Petr "Pasky" Baudis As in certain cults it is possible to kill a process if you know its true name. -- Ken Thompson and Dennis M.
