The issue here is, that if someone comes along and tags BRAT as `BRAT-2-5-5' then that will be the newest `new' (and possibly `pro'), so to avoid that, we should have started a new `new' branch before declaring the old branch as `pro' - just to not confuse ourselves. I think I've documented that a couple of places before. > To accomplish that, I had to install mysql in the pro directory > also. Why?

Another good reason why we need a new `new' branch before releasing a `pro' version. > Let me know if you have any problems with the new pro installation. I have a question: Why do we have the directories /afs/rhic/opt/brahms/bin /afs/rhic/opt/brahms/brat /afs/rhic/opt/brahms/brat/brat-13-Feb-2002 /afs/rhic/opt/brahms/brat/new /afs/rhic/opt/brahms/brat/new_gcc304 /afs/rhic/opt/brahms/brat/pro /afs/rhic/opt/brahms/crash /afs/rhic/opt/brahms/crash/new /afs/rhic/opt/brahms/lib /afs/rhic/opt/brahms/new_gcc304 /afs/rhic/opt/brahms/root /afs/rhic/opt/brahms/root/new /afs/rhic/opt/brahms/root/gcc304 /afs/rhic/opt/brahms/root/pro /afs/rhic/opt/brahms/root/root_v3.03.00 I've made the subdirectory ~brahmlib/src for compiling the programs as `brahmlib' and installation in `/afs/rhic/opt/brahms', and I think we should use that rather than the AFS disk (which is really slow when you do compiles). Also, if we can keep the AFS directory to an absolute minimum of /afs/rhic/opt/brahms/pro /afs/rhic/opt/brahms/pro/bin /afs/rhic/opt/brahms/pro/etc /afs/rhic/opt/brahms/pro/lib /afs/rhic/opt/brahms/pro/include /afs/rhic/opt/brahms/pro/lib /afs/rhic/opt/brahms/pro/sbin /afs/rhic/opt/brahms/pro/share /afs/rhic/opt/brahms/new /afs/rhic/opt/brahms/new/bin /afs/rhic/opt/brahms/new/etc /afs/rhic/opt/brahms/new/lib /afs/rhic/opt/brahms/new/include /afs/rhic/opt/brahms/new/lib /afs/rhic/opt/brahms/new/sbin /afs/rhic/opt/brahms/new/share we can avoid a lot of confusion as to what is the `official' software. I think we should _not_ have `official' installations for more than one compiler per platform - which ever compiler we may choose. If particular users what another compiler, they can do so themselves. I'd like to ask who ever made all the `spurious' directories listed above to remove them ASAP, so that we may avoid confusions.
