Thanks, but this change was installed by Stefan Kangas in February, so it's too bad it is only now brought to attention. I think I will let it stay, as for now this is effectively part of our history, whether we want that or not. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 11+ messages in thread

Could the entry at least be changed to emacs-28.3-rc1? Mentioning a release that never happened is highly misleading. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 11+ messages in thread

IMHO the entry should either be dropped, or changed to 28.3-rc1. In the latter case, maybe it should also include a short explanation like "Emacs 28.3 was not released because of ${REASON}." ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 11+ messages in thread

I doubt there will be a 28.3 release once 29.1 is out. Best regards, Michael. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 11+ messages in thread

I understand Eli's point. If everything goes well, all files tagged as emacs-29.1-rc1 will be tagged emacs-29.1 in a few days, and that's the release. And it isn't that bad as it looks. People reading the HISTORY file see entries for Emacs 28.3 and 29.1. Chances are good they decide for the latter.1. What about this compromise: we change HISTORY in the emacs-29 branch. If there is a need for an RC2, this change will be part of it. Otherwise, it will appear with Emacs 29.2. > In the latter case, maybe it should also include a short explanation > like "Emacs 28.3 was not released because of ${REASON}." I don't know any good wording for ${REASON}, so we shouldn't add a reason. Best regards, Michael. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 11+ messages in thread

I just cannot stop wondering why people keep arguing about these minor, almost meaningless issues after their opinions were heard and disagreed upon. Just accept the decision and move on. But nooo.... So now I will have to regenerate a tarball instead of reusing the same one. Another hour of my time. No one cares but me, I know.

Sure, no need to cut a new tarball if this remains the only change. >> In the latter case, maybe it should also include a short explanation >> like "Emacs 28.3 was not released because of ${REASON}." > I don't know any good wording for ${REASON}, so we shouldn't add a > reason. Looks like it simply didn't happen because nobody was enough interested. From my distro point of view, there was no strong incentive because we had already fixed these minor security bugs with downstream patches. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 11+ messages in thread
