I'm totally with you on this.

I don't see why we necessarily need a branch already. Having the 2.0 labeled up nice and clean is enough right now IMHO. Then, if we would need to release a patched 2.0 we could take that decision later.

You won't be able to tag with a label containing dots, but otherwise it is a good idea! Perhaps "release-2_0" is good enough.

The script fixes the VERSION string.

I'd suggest that we do it in the order:

• maketgz (builds a release-archive)
• upload the release-package
• cvs commit
• cvs rtag -b
• continue developing in the main branch

I think that there's also an important issue we must take care of soon:

• cleanup the web pages
