I took the liberty of creating a link called 4.1 at http://ftp.squeak.org/4.1/ linked to trunk. When we are close to a release we can convert it to a directory and go from there.
I considered calling it 4.1alpha or 4.1beta but although we have been using that directory structure for some years now I wonder if that isn't rather pointless. At best it leaves a broader base directory structure that has to be cleaned up occasionally.

Thanks, and I agree that it's better to have just one 4.1 directory. However, it does leave open the question where to put the final 4.1 files when they're ready :-) What's your thought on how to deal with that?

I'm not sure I understand you question. I expected when we were ready to disconnect 4.1 from the trunk we would simply
$ cd <ftp root directory> $ rm 4.1 $ mkdir 4.1 $ cp <relevant files from trunk> 4.1/
and go from there. However I think I must be missing your point?

No, I was just thinking needlessly complicated thoughts :-) This will work just fine, thanks.
