Hello,
i have a proposal for the verse development: why not storing the code on
a cvs server?
The code is not that big by now, so it is no problem to download the
full version when something changed. However it would be a lot simpler
to get code changes via cvs than always downloading a new .zip.
And you have more advantages, like a version control or that you can see
what was changed. It helps finding bugs also. The code is open source
anyway so no one has any disadvantages here.
Just developing a new version only on the own computer and releasing
them from time to time isn't that helpful for a common development or
usage. E.g. the users have to check their programs again to find bugs
(either in the server or their apps), it would be a lot easier if you
could track down which change lead to a bug, changes would occour in
smaller steps. This can only be found out with version control systems
like cvs. And finally it doesn't cost anything - you get an sourceforge
project for free, with the addition of more security for your data -
backups and the like.
Any comments?
