No, it wouldn;t be a continuaqtion. Right now there are both V39.sources *and* V39.changes, which is bogus.<br>One way to think about htis is what would the files need to be if one were to make a single install? It doesn't make sense to have a sources file that isn't specific to the install. One should be able to install
VM.N without conflicting with VX.Y, so there shouldn't be *any shared files between them. But teh changes file issue is special. One uses the chasnges file for crash recovery, and so fillinjg it with stuff that's extraneous to the developer is bad form. How well do you expect a newbie to handle crash recovery if they have to first work out what all that stuff on the changes file is?

<br>><br>>> (Again IMAO) One thing I think must change asap is the non-empty changes file<br>>> that comes with a new release. ReleaseBuilder or whatever must generate a<br>>> fresh sources file with a null changes file. That makes the changes file mch
