I don't know how Jens managed patches, but I find cumulative patches are confusing. Would it be possible for you to separate those patches and make it clear which ones don't break binary compatibility and are for 1.3 and which ones are for HEAD?
Jens?
It seems like cumulative patches confuse me too: I thought the patches were all for HEAD, not 1.3. Sorry!! Also, I will not deal with HEAD for the next two weeks. Regards, Jens

If I can find some time, I will check again what could go into 1.3 and what not and send a patch for that. I do understand that cumulative patches are inconvenient. However, for me making non-cumulative patches is equally inconvenient. The way to make it convenient for both of us is for you to respond more quickly to patches. If I have multiple more or less orthogonal changes to the same C-files some of which have to go into a different version of GiNaC, separatating these is really inconvenient. Why don't you simply keep two GiNaC trees on your computer: one for 1.3 and one for HEAD. That way you can immediately apply patches in the right place. If anything is unclear about a patch I will be happy to expain. Best, Chris

If new sets of "final" patches come in at a rate of two per day or so, it is tempting for us to wait until things cool down... :) Bye, Christian

Yeah, fair enough. However, if things have cooled down (no patch in a day of two or three), it would make sense to apply the patch before another period activity begins or otherwise you might see some real huge patches before long ;-). Best, Chris
