I really don't know if it is worth all the effort (well mine and a few others) of pulling those changes onto a branch. All the C++ fixes, the HP/UX host stuff and so on. > > For this to work, all the proposed release criteria for 5.2 would need to be droped. > > thoughts? > > Either way, there needs to be a decision by the middle of next week. Just a postscript to this. Because the FSF would like to be able to spin out a manual based on a current release but are currently fixing things I'll very likely end up spinning out a 5.1.1 or 5.1.0.2 (ulgh) anyway. The latter is far far easier. However I do still have a preference for cutting 5.2 rather than spend lots of effort getting fixes into the 5.1 branch. I guess the question I'm asking here is, how much stuff has been added to the 5.1 branch that might break things making a fast 5.1.1 a high risk activity. Andrew
