[Maccvspro-dev] which version?

[Lexi M <le...@ya...>]

Hi everyone,

I'm looking into using MacCVS Pro and I'm trying to
figure out what version to download. Looks like there
are several options: but none seem to call out "hey
i'm the most recent stable release!"

* There's a beta of version 2.5 on www.maccvs.org,
which seems to be just whereever things were left when
the project was moved to SourceForge a couple of years
ago.

* There's a build of beta 2.7 on SourceForge. The
commentary there is "warning this is untested beta and
might lose data!"

* There's a .sit with source code on SourceForge. I
don't know if this matches the build. Readme files
appear to reflect version 2.5.

* Then there's the CVS repository of the source, with,
of course, all versions. There appear to be various
tags and branches and I can't tell whether I would be
best off checking out the head or one of the branches.

I just want whatever is the most stable version that
meets my modest needs. I don't need an OS X client, I
don't need SSH support, and I'm willing to put up with
minor UI nits like not being able to paste into the
Log Window. I just really don't want something that is
going to eat my project and force me to reconstruct
from backup tapes. 

It looks like development activity has slowed down to
about nothing over the past year or two. (Because the
project is now perfect? :) So, if you're thinking,
"urgh, I haven't looked at MacCVSPro in-- how many
months?-- there must be other people who know more
about where the project is--" then dude, you're it. I
don't think anyone else will have more up-to-date
info.

TIA
lexi
