'stable' tag no use (Re: Problem generating Cocoon site): msg#00201

Subject: 'stable' tag no use (Re: Problem generating Cocoon site)

Cocoon overrides the main Forrest sitemap
(src/documentation/sitemap.xmap), which means that every time the Forrest
CVS sitemaps change, the Cocoon one would need synching.  To avoid this,
there is a 'stable' tag on Forrest, the theory being that Cocoon docs
should always build with the 'stable' Forrest.

I've just discovered that this rolling 'stable' tag system is not going to work. Usually, the names of jars changes on each release. Doing a 'cvs tag -F stable' does not remove the stable tag from deleted files. This means that doing a 'cvs up -r stable' will fetch a bunch of old, tagged jars, and break everything.

So instead we'll just have to use stable tags with a date suffix: stable-20030626, etc. I'll remove the 'stable' tag altogether, to reduce confusion.
