Re: [Evolution-hackers] Post-release version incrementing

[Srinivasa Ragavan <sragavan novell com>]

Tor,

It may not work out here, since the micro version is what we bump during
release which is in sync with the GNOME Release micro version.
(Evolution 2.21.3 == GNOME 2.21.3)

Matt, I'm not against it, if it benefits hackers. Personally I don't use
2 versions and so It doesn't matter much to me. If I don't hear any
objections, I would be doing  it during the 2.21.4 release and make
trunk 2.21.5. 

-Srini.
