1: Packages not in tarball/repository
Posted by Janine Ohmer on 11/07/04 07:32 PM
I'm setting up a site that needs, among other things, events and workflow.  These are not in the 5.1.2 tarball, nor are they available from the openacs.org Repository.  Obviously I have to get them from CVS, but is there a particular tag I should be using to get something stable?  I'm looking at the tags on workflow.info and I see that it was tagged for openacs-5-1-1-final, but not openacs-5-1-2-final.  Does this indicate that I should go back to the last final tag on each module I need to get a stable version?

events and workflow are not supposed to be in the 5.1.2 Core tarball, because they aren't core.

"is there a particular tag I should be using to get something stable"

Yes, "oacs-5-1-compat".  This is also the tag used to rebuild the repository, when that is working.

When a new version of OpenACS is released, we should also tag whatever is openacs-x-y-compat at that instant with the -final tag, so that we permanently identify the stable code at that instant.  I left this out of my release docs and so skipped it when I released OpenACS 5.1.2, but I've added it now and done the tagging, so openacs-5-1-2-final should now extend to all packages.
