Confused about what's available in subversion

[ftoth]

Hi,

Could someone give me an overview of the version issues?
I am currently running the 2.1 community binary release.
How can I get the source for precisely that version?

I have the sense that what's in subversion is more recent?
Or perhaps I'm wrong.

I just want to be sure that if I have to figure out some internals
or track down a bug that I'm looking at the right source code.

And, for those of you who are hacking on the internals, is it
best practice to work from the latest subversion head? Or is it
too far removed from the 2.1 binary?

I keep reading about things that are fixed in the enterprise version
first, and perhaps in the latest subversion? But, as the subject
says, I'm confused!

Can anyone help?

Thanks,

Fred Toth

You're correct, HEAD in svn has moved on since the binary release of 2.1.

SVN is tagged with the label V2.1.0-COMMUNITY-FINAL so you can always use "svn co svn co svn://svn.alfresco.com/alfresco/TAGS/V2.1.0-COMMUNITY-FINAL ." to get the code that represented the 2.1 release.

As you have read we have an enterprise version, basically this is a branch we create from the 2.1 code and apply bugfixes to for customers with a support contract. ALL the changes added to this branch will be merged back into HEAD in the next couple of weeks.

Hope this makes it clearer!

It doesn't appear that there is public access to the tags.

svn list svn://svn.alfresco.com/alfresco

only lists HEAD.

When I do a

svn co svn://svn.alfresco.com/alfresco/TAGS/V2.1.0-COMMUNITY-FINAL

as mentioned, I get

svn: URL 'svn://svn.alfresco.com/alfresco/TAGS/V2.1.0-COMMUNITY-FINAL' doesn't exist

Am I missing something?

Thanks!

I'm sorry, my fault, you're right, it seems the TAGS are not available.

However, the SVN revision number for the 2.1 community release is available here: http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Release_2.1#Important_Notes
