Hi Webmasters.

The release page [1] of project "Search Files" shows a version number that does not exist in CVS [2]. For Drupal 6.x two "Major Numbers" of the module exist, 1 and 2. But the release page also displays a 6. Worse, the "Issues for Search Files" [3] offer the user to choose Version 6.x-6.x-dev which did never exist. Please help me cleaning this up. You may safely reroute all 6.x-6.x-dev issues to 6.x-2.x-dev if you know/believe problems will come up if 6.x-6.x-dev is discarded while being referenced.

Thanks a lot

Take a look at: http://drupal.org/node/240007/release

There you will find: http://drupal.org/node/240033

The 6.x-6.x-dev release points to HEAD. It's not recommended, but it can renamed to something like 7.x-1.x-dev if you wish.

Actually, there is a version 6.x-6.x-dev (http://drupal.org/node/240033).

I cross-posted with webernet.
It could be renamed 7.x-1.x-dev if it would be compatible with Drupal 7; at the actual state of things, I think it is not compatible (as it is supposed to be a Drupal 6 version).

Is 6.x-6.x-dev release number aliasing CVS HEAD a convention in the Drupal developer space? If so, then everything is ok. Otherwise I'm pretty much sure it had been created by mistake. I do not understand where the number/ name comes from. It's not a CVS tag. Thanks for helping so quickly.

CVS HEAD can be any dev release. A 6.x-6.x release is perfectly valid, however it appears that it's likely that it wasn't what was intended, that's why said it could be renamed to 7.x-1.x-dev assuming that you'd be working on a 7.x port in HEAD.

Please review the documentation: http://drupal.org/handbook/cvs
