I had some branching, tagging and updating fro my contribs scheduled for today, but as soon as I started readin the scattered documentation on the new system, I already ran into the first weirdness.

http://drupal.org/node/93999 talks about DRUPAL-4-7--1-0 tags ([CoreCompatibility]--[Major]-[PatchLevel]<-Extra>) while http://drupal.org/handbook/version-info#contrib tells me to use 4.7.x-1.0 (CoreCompatibility-Major.PatchLevel[-Extra])

In addition http://drupal.org/handbook/cvs/quickstart#release-tag tells again another story, I guess this one is just still using the old convention Bèr -- Drupal, Ruby on Rails and Joomla! development: webschuur.com | Drupal hosting: sympal.nl

first: which one is The one?

they're all true, just documenting different things (as the titles and text explain).

second: why is this in two places (documenting something on more places will result in incompatibility), can I merge these two?

http://drupal.org/handbook/version-info#contrib is "what do the version numbers mean?", intended for the masses. http://drupal.org/node/93999 is "what are the CVS branches and tags that correspond with each version?", intended only for a) project maintainers and b) advanced users who deploy sites with "cvs update" instead of "wget tarball". no, you can't merge them since they're different things (version strings vs. cvs identifiers) intended for different audiences. as the top of #93999 says: "To understand the naming conventions for the branches and tags used for Drupal contributions, you should already be familiar with the [version numbers for contributions]..." with the link to version- info#contrib.

third: can we agree on ONE templating concept,

*sigh* yes, geeze, after about 20 hours of handbook editing, i managed to leave 1 inconsistency in the formatting of some information. <sneer> please forgive me </sneer>. by all means, feel free to make cosmetic formatting changes if you're so-inclined. just don't go "reorganizing" documentation you haven't spent the time to read closely (skimming for the examples doesn't count) and therefore don't understand what it's really talking about or why it's where it is.

not at all. it's showing how to do exactly what you're told to do at: http://drupal.org/node/93999 you're probably just confused about branches and tags. i encourage you to (re)read: http://drupal.org/handbook/cvs/branches-and-tags/contributions it probably wouldn't hurt to read the info i put in the introduction- to-cvs page about this, too, for the fundamentals: http://drupal.org/handbook/cvs/introduction#branches-and-tags all clear? -derek
