Changed to bimonthly.

[Armin K]

Latest snapshot is dated 20141218 as it seems. No change since then.

If you are going to update bimonthly, I suggest you use non-stable snapshot. What's the point of updating the stable one regulary anyways, since almost nothing important changes?

I am still assuming that they are on vacation. If there is no new release, I agree with you, no point in updating.

Also, assuming that they cme back, what do you think is a good frequency for updating?

[Armin K]

You are the one doing the work, so it's up to you.

This ticket is just a reminder due to upstream's policy about releases. If nothing is changed, then no action is needed.

[Armin K]

It seems they have fixed their daily generation packages. I propose every new release a new non-stable snapshot is used, given that stable ones rarely change anything.

[Fernando de Oliveira]

Should updates be done bimonthly at the same date, or do you think it should follow mplayer, just before BLFS release?

[bdubbs@…]

My preference is just before a BLFS release unless we are aware of an important change. An important change, IMO, is one that would need an entry in the stable errata.

[Fernando de Oliveira]

OK, thanks.

Fixed at r16385.
