Hi again,

I want to check the revision which contains the fix for the bug :

https://issues.alfresco.com/jira/browse/ALF-3991‍

In JIRA, are "Act Numbers" the same thing as "Revision number" ?

If yes, Unfortunately, the revision isn't there (or I can't read it properly !). It seems SVN has "spaces" between some revision numbers ?!?

PS: When I searched for "ALF-3991" in revision comments, for all the revisions, I found nothing.

Who's could enlighten me please ?

No "Act Numbers" are not the same as "Revision number" ? ACT numbers are references to one of the Enterprise support systems.

This particular issue was fixed and validated in Enterprise 3.3 SP2.
Merged to HEAD Aug 31 2010.

Thanks for your reply !

I don't understand something (my previous post) :
SP are provided only for Enterprise version ?
"Merged to HEAD" means directly fixed in the source code, in a revision we cannot see directly by browsing SVN HEAD ?
If I understand, the Community make fixes/improvements and "you" decide to deliver a Community release version between 2 HEAD revisions ?

So, for my mind what's the difference between HEAD revisions and "nightly builds" ?
Is this the nightly compiled version of daily HEAD revisions ?

Thank you much for your help !

Yes. The nighlty build is exactly that. A nightly build of HEAD. (Well actually every so often it stuffs up but you get the idea. :roll: )

You can see HEAD via SVN.

I don't understand your sentence with "you" in it. :?

Thank you !

I mean by "you", not only you but all Alfresco engineers, your Team I think !

Could you reply to me for patches like SP, are they available only for Enterprise Version ?

How to fix ourselves, from an official release version, a bug ? We have to dl SVN HEAD revision (latest or which we want) and recompile Alfresco ?

Yes Service Packs and Hot Fix Patches are part of Alfresco's paid for services.

There's no specific answer for how to apply an individual fix to the community version. It depends upon the particular issue as to what needs to change.
