versions.* files in tor-browser-bundle.git
by Arthur D. Edelstein 05 Apr '17

Hi everyone, In tor-browser-bundle.git we have four "versions" files: versions versions.alpha versions.beta versions.nightly But, similar to tor-browser.git and torbutton.git, we also have release and alpha branches, e.g.: remotes/origin/maint-5.5 remotes/origin/maint-6.0 remotes/origin/maint-6.5 remotes/origin/master And, most of the hashes and other lines in the various versions* files are the same with only minor differences. So I'm wondering if the versions.* files (with dot) are unnecessary. Maybe we only need a single versions file in each branch? Instead we could introduce any needed flags that specify whether we want to verify inputs, etc. Thanks, Arthur
