[Phpwiki-talk] Better use of CVS

[Steve W. <sw...@pa...>]

I have a modest proposal:

Tag code as usable with the cvs tag -F "tagname" option.

This means we could selectively update the demo site so it's less likely 
to be broken by bugs.  Currently the demo and test sites both do a 
checkout of the current files in CVS; for the test site, we don't mind 
if it gets broken since that's what it's there for. But to have the demo 
site down is egg on our faces.

For the cron job that updates the demo site, it would do a cvs update on 
the tag we choose.

The downside to this is it's one more hassle for the devloper. A more 
low tech solution is to disable the cron job entirely, and update the 
demo site by hand periodically when new functionality is ready.
