Do you mean 1.85 instead or 1.55?

Do you mean 1.85 instead or 1.55?

Oh thanks for this. I'm fixing that right away.

tag 1.85 is available

[inglor]

@cyring You released a hotfix for 1.85 version some days ago and you chose to reuse the same tag. This is a bad practice and breaks all efforts of packaging consistently. As a suggestion it would probably make sense to include on your tags the revision number, for example 1.85.6, which you maintain in coretypes.h.

Hi @inglor

I do agree with you. I did not want to impact your packages, thus I kept same rev number. It was a bad move.

Rather than GitHub, we need to find a better way to exchange b/c sometimes I can commit a lot of changes and I need realtime answers, testing, and so on.

See my email in corefreq-cli -h

Sincerely
Cyril
