SVN version on live site?  Bottom

  • Hi,
    I'm wondering what the implications are of using .8 (pre the final version) on a live site?

    For example, are there going to be any more database changes? Obviously these would cause problems in future.

    I know everyone is going to say it's unsupported, not advised etc etc. But I'm just wondering... It's such a vast improvement on what I'm using now that it's beginning to look very tempting. There are a few outstanding bugs that are holding me back for the time being...

    Thanks
  • SVN minus the bugs in the tracker = RC1
    So if you can live with the bugs that are in the tracker and the bugs that haven't been found yet, you can already use the SVN version.

  • OK great icon_smile
    I'll just wait on a couple of the search related bugs.

    Well, I'd like to take the opportunity to thank everyone for their hard work! Especially markwest and drak who chased the bugs I submitted.
    Cheers guys...
  • I wouldn't advise it, especially as the upgrade from .7x isn't finalised yet, however there shouldn't be any more substantial database changes.

  • Thanks for your advice.

    I've got a test site that I've setup without a problem. Also, due to the number of core hacks I have on my old site, I'm not going to upgrade. Instead I'm doing a clean install, then installing some of the old modules, copying their old tables over, then upgrading them individually icon_wink

    I know I know, it isn't advised. It works though icon_smile
