Re: [rt-pmc] Gemini subproject situation

o.O

what exactly does anyone gain from having something named
0.9.0.v201201180815 over 1.0.0.M1

is there some super sekrit special powers granted on osgi land?  its a
jar file...I don't see the distinction of M1 vs v201201180815 for
anything other then political reasons, if the M1 just needs signed
then make an M2 and sign it...we run our M and RC releases through the
signing process for our p2 repos

anyway, probably safe to ignore my thoughts and go with what tom says
then, he is the master in these things :)

cheers,
jesse
