Hi all,
Just a clarification:
> This message is for those whose project uses CoinUtils.
>
> The latest release of CoinUtils is 1.0.1. It relies on BuildTools 0.5.2.
> Please, update your stable/release branches when you have some time. Don't
> forget to do *both* CoinUtils and BuildTools, otherwise it'll crash and
> burn...
In your stable branch, your externals should point to the stable branches
of the dependencies, including that of CoinUtils. If you do this, you
will not have to change anything when a new release of CoinUtils of
BuildTools happens, since the latest stable version is automatically
pulled in. (That might be the easiest solution, but you can of course
handle this differently and point at specific releases if you feel like
you want to keep updating externals a lot.)
As for releases, Laci's message didn't ask you to update any EXISTING
release. (Remember, RELEASES MUST NEVER BE CHANGED ONCE THEY HAVE BEEN
CREATED!) It is rather that you would need to make a NEW release
(following the instruction at
https://projects.coin-or.org/BuildTools/wiki/pm-svn-externals#PreparingExternalsForAPointRelease)
for your project if you want to take into
account the latest release of CoinUtils with the bug fixes etc.
Regards,
Andreas
