svn repository

Hi

I know that Zenphoto 1.4.0.4 has been released. But I am a bit disappointed: there isn't any tags in svn repositories.

What's wrong with the SVN repository?

Thanks,

    Nothing, just that no one has put in the tags. Should not be an issue anyway. 1.4.0.4 is exactly what the trunk repository is at this vary moment. And, of course, the 1.4.0.4 download also represents it.

    Of course, this will change, for whatever reason you think you need these tags, act now or....

    I also use the svn for upgrading zenphoto, please tag this release :)
    Thanks.
  • sbillard Member
    You know, of course, that unless you are doing the upgrade for testing purposes you really do not want to use the SVN directly?

    We consider the SVN a test vehicle so options are set for debuging installations unstead of production installations.
  • WladyX Member
    I didn't know, i thought that tags are considered to be stable releases and the same as the tarballs, it was easier to upgrade by svn, but i'll consider moving to the tarballs instead. Thanks for the heads up.
  • sbillard Member
    Well, of course they are stable. It is just that the builds make some definitons that turn them into production releases from development releases. Otherwise no difference, just the possibility of debugging code activated.

    As WladyX, I am using SVN tags when upgrading/updating the sites. I believe many guys do the same. See for example http://justcameron.com/blog/2008/07/03/updating-zenphoto-with-svn/

    We also write some templates and tricks to use Zenphoto, and the they don't always work will all Zenphoto versions. That's why we like to use SVN tags: we can simply switch between tags and test them, without downloading and extracing the tarballs manually.

    The SVN really helps. So please consider to use them. Please let me know if I can help.

    Our project manager maintains the SVN. I am sure he will do this when he has the time.
  • anh Member
    Oh I hope that he would have more time! Or some one may help him

    Thanks anyway.

    Hi,

    This is unofficial mirror (for /trunk/ only)

    https://github.com/xmirror/zenphoto

    Hope this helps.

    Maybe you should open a ticket if it does not get fast enough for you.
  • sbillard Member
    We would all hope for more quick responses. Right now (more important to me, but I am sure not to you) we are waiting for the development branch to be cloned to the trunk branch so that we can begin the beta of Zenphoto 1.4.1.

    Tris gets busy sometimes.
  • anh Member
    Yes I see. Instead of waiting for the busy developers, I just make clones of the svn repository -- which helps me and others.

    I've fixed stuff, so that the Git repository now relfects branches & tags in the original source tree. I note that there are some strange trees in http://www.zenphoto.org/svn/, for example, the sanbox, the zenpage,...

    The git command was used:

    $ git svn clone http://www.zenphoto.org/svn/ -T trunk -b branches -t tags

    The git data is mirrored at https://github.com/xmirror/zenphoto.

    If there're any problems, please let me know.

    Regards

    Again, if you think something is not right (=bug) please submit a ticket! Then it does get heard. Complains on the forum get lost especially since our server admin does not frequent the forum at all.

    I personally find it confusing for users to have several svn places. (I won't test your git repository as I am on an little older Mac right now still and to my knowledge there is no convenient client for that).

    Regarding the strnage trees you see in the svn. Those are older now unused ones. Zenpage for example was at the beginning released as separate plugin and was just "hosted" on the Zenphoto svn.
  • anh Member
    Thank you for the explanation.

    When I have free time I will submit a ticket.

    The tag has been updated - apologies, the release script apparently isn't creating it automatically. I'll try to repair that for the next release so it happens every time.

  • WladyX Member
    Could you please update it for 1.4.1.1?
    Thanks.
  • WladyX Member
    The same for 1.4.1.6.
    Thanks.
  • sbillard Member
    Can't do it for 1.4.1.6 since that release was created outside of the SVN. (We had already moved to the 1.4.2 Beta when we learned of the security issues with ajaxfilemanager.)
  • acrylian Administrator, Developer
    We have explained that on the 1.4.1.6 release post actually.
