[Qgis-community-team] Re: QGIS 1.0.0 - Call for packaging

[Tim Sutton]

Hi Borys

If you already committed it to the 1.0.0 branch I suggest to just
leave it there and then also make the .qm file available for cases
where packagers may be using the src bundle I prepared or a checkout
from prior to your commit.

best regards

Tim
