sratring by off-topic - the zlibed zip for 2.6.0 install seems to be corrupted regarding paths information, can't see files with WinRAR 3.20 nor extract with this one or PowerDesk 5 - only able to unzip if no specified path used.
OK, well, now you've done some changes since the 2.6.0 release and I wanted to add them. Although for a hell of me I don't understand how I could use CVS to update my existing files directly nor create the upgrade script, I decided to go in hand by hand.
I use TortoiseCVS (don't remember why any more). Well, I checked out the dir you are giving in your 2.6.0 release readme /forum21 and got all its content. The file dates have surprised me and I discover in core.inc that this was version 2.5.0 !!!
Where should I look for 2.6.0?
"No modules list for this server. Ask your admin to install CVSWeb or ViewCVS on your server or add the modules to the file CSVROOT/modules. And for now look for the module name wherever you want!" the program says me.
I tried to go here on the cvs site using the link on download page, but it required me to log in and would not let pass as some kind of guest. I had to search the messages on this forum to discover a link given to somebody to view directly a certain change, so I were happy to bookmark and entrance page to the changes list at least!
But how can I extract the needed files?
Or somebody please help me to understand how could I apply the changes directly to my working installation if this is possible at all? I've seen a link given to someone to get the needed file by web browser, it seems to me, may be you can provide with the url template (it's understood that I use forum-data or www_root & the file in question)??? I would prefer line by line change for I am making my own hack, but I could use at least a difference checking tool manually on 2 files for I can't understand what and where should be checked out by CVS and how can it make me the upgrade script and would such script destroy my changes or what?
Because manual insertion/deletion of strings after the changelog would be completely sad... Any help, please?
I've lost the whole damn day and could not figure it out!
