SVN for dummies

Hi all:

 

I’m following the SVN emails with attention, but my brain can’t really process it at the speed you write them all...

 

So trying to learn by doing, browsed the SVN in sourceforge and found:

Trunk: repository for NEW functionalities, new scripts

Branches/3.11-stable: only for patches related to 3.11 version, not new functionalities

Branches/utf-8: for Javier’s amazing work on utf

Branches/3.11-UTF8, branches/TAX-CHANGES and branches/rel2-9b: could not understand what are they for. Maybe old stuff?

 

Am I correct? Something missing here?

 

Also something I misunderstood because: how is the SVN manager going to sort out which new features goes on which new released version (if all new features go to trunk)?

 

Hope someone can bring some light as now I’m not sure where to get the correct script :-(

 

Thanks,

Ricard

Hi Pak, I know what you mean and know how you feel,
 
The Trunk is what the CVS Head was until a few days ago. The 3.11-stable is just starting and there are a few messages that talk about it, what should go and what not, search for the messages from Tim explaining that's not always obvious and the invitation and the two responses to colaborate. The utf-8 is an alpha version. You may forget the other branches. Then, you have two options, to follow the trunk or the stable. The different features are clear sometimes, e.g., the assets manager. In my opinion your profile matches better with the trunk since you are developing new features. While the stable is more targeted in users that don't want to dive indeep and just want to get issues solved.
 
The problem with the speed of updates is related to several things that should be corrected:
- issues and bugs (this is the most important)
- PDF behaviour (it could almost be in the previous group)
- SVN:keywords (important for developers)
- htmlentities and htmlspecialchars (this is important for everybody not living in the western world).
- Turkish I and i (important only for turkish but important anyway).
- strings not under gettext (important for non english users).
- similar phrases (important for translators).
- xhtml
- typos (I have found more than a hundred that Tim has corrected and continue finding, this is not important but improve the look)
 
 
Only the SVN:keywords means to edit all the files to add in the key and almost the same could be said of xhtml. Pdfs are more than 40. However, except the bugfixes you won't be affected for these changes and it's easy to recognize, I mean you may forget all the commits I'm doing, they are minor changes and you may concentrate in Tim commits to the Trunk.
 
regards,
javier

Hi Ricard,

Yes, just as a tree grows from the trunk, so does the new versions of
webERP.


> Branches/3.11-stable: only for patches related to 3.11 version, not new
> functionalities

A branch is a snapshot of the trunk that can be developed separately
from the trunk.

> Also something I misunderstood because: how is the SVN manager going to

It doesn't - this is the role of the developers. They decide what needs
fixing and where.
