Hi Kent,

How about using the date instead of a cvs tag?=20

We just need to know the date of the most recent green dashboard.
I don't know if Dart can update an html page and sets this date =
automatically (even different dates for different platforms). This will =
be a nice thing to have.

my two cents,
Happy new year,

Julien

  Subject: [Insight-developers] Suggestion for ITK cvs tagging


  At Iowa we're in the position of needing to build against the CVS =
version of ITK for our development of Brains2, but don't necessarily =
want to be at the bleeding edge of the daily updates.

  It would be nice if some non-branch tags were dropped on days when the =
dashboard is all or mostly green, so that there were some intermediate =
'known-mostly-good' snapshots we could compile against.  With developer =
access I probably have priveleges to do top-level tags myself, but I =
hesitate to do so -- not only does it thrash the CVS Repository, but it =
engenders confusion if we get into a tagging free-for-all.  There's also =
the problem that CVS tagging isn't an atomic operation -- people do =
checkins all the time when it's daytime in the US.
