Differences between svn tagged version and released version

[jean-mat grimaldi]

Hello Fred Alfonso and everybody,

I try to make things the more simple for FCKeditor.Plone package.

To make FCKeditor.Plone svn update more simple for users, i used somewhere in FCKeditor.Plone repository this "svn:externals" property : fckeditor_src ​http://svn.fckeditor.net/FCKeditor/tags/2.4.3

This allows users to get all things in one svn update (fckeditor + fckeditor.plone)

But it seems that svn 2.4.3 tagged version and fckeditor2.4.3 released version are not the same products.

I suppose it is because the svn version do not use the packaged javascripts. Of course it's a good thing for developpers, but don't you think that the "tagged" version must be exactly the same as the released version ? i think that tags and trunk could be different ...

Second question : what can i do to make fckeditor.plone release in this situation, without downloading the product from sourceforge (as i used to do before with a bad svn users's feed-back)?

Many thanks

Jean-mat

Hi Jean-Mat,

The version branches must reflect the "development version" of the release. The fact is that the "public version", has "less information" than the "development version". So we would lost things on making the opposite.

The solution for your svn:externals is to simply point to "FCKeditor/releases/stable" in the SVN. It is enough to specify the revision to get the "public version" you want. You can check the list of its revisions [log:FCKeditor/releases/stable here].

So, if you get revision 381, you get FCKeditor 2.4.3, while revision 242 brings you FCKeditor 2.4.2.

Does it means we can close this ticket?

I hope you are having success with the FCKeditor product and the Plone community.

Thanks again for your contributions.

PS.: We should have those kinds of discussions at our dev mailing list?. But it is ok, just because it's you :)

Yes of course

Yes many users like it and we don't need any advertising because FCKeditor is just a good product ;-)
