Yurii,<div><br></div><div>I agree - this seems strange. Unfortunately I don't know the background for this. I can only guess that it was originally done this way in order to have the default start_clean.rel and start_sasl.rel in the same directory - these files do both have the same version - and that other use of the feature of specifying multiple rel files was not really considered.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I can not see that it would be a big problem to correct this. One could of course argue that it will be backwards incompatible, but one could also see it as a bug... Anyway - a patch would be much appreciated.</div>

Hi,<br>
<br>
I was wondering what was the motivation for putting all the releases<br>
specified in reltool.config into a single directory<br>
releases/<BootVsn>, where BootVsn is a version of a release specified<br>
as boot_rel. I have a situation where I have multiple releases<br>
specified in a single reltool.config, and some of them have different<br>
versions (and can also be upgraded independently).<br>
<br>
I find it odd having releases with different versions sitting in a<br>
directory for a version of the boot_rel release. Shouldn't each<br>
version get its own directory? I can see how this change can be done<br>
in reltool, but I'd rather hold it off until I hear more feedback on<br>
this.<br>
<br>
The source code that does that is available here:<br>

<br>
Any insights, thoughts?<br>
<br>
Yurii.<br>
