Svn Builds

Mediaportal development is not going in the right direction.
The SVN build is to unstable. Yes: SVN is BETA or less.

Stability should be the (if not) the goal. Not the features.

If you know its BETA, why post this(?). Sometimes SVN introduces new bugs, but in the long run we all know stability is the main goal.

PLease file a bugreport to help the hard working devs.

Thank's for the feedback.

if you want stable then don't use SVN.. use the appropriately named "STABLE release" which is 0.2.2.0

I have been using the latest SVN's for about 5 months now, it seems pretty stable to me. If something does not work with one svn file a report and I am sure it will be fixed overnight. Being able to update the software everyday satisfies my need to tinker.

Hi,
I dunno what to say, if you're looking @ changelog you see many fixes (& yes fixes can make new bugs, until those are fixed too) & not many new things

Hi,

I think perhaps you have some confusion about what the svn is for. I'll give an example about how a better design introduced new bugs. Earlier this month, I completely revamped the X10 remote section of the code. It is now easier to read, use, is more compact, and a bug was squashed. This went fairly well, with a minimal disruption to anyone who wasn't going into standby. I introduced a small bug there which was promptly fixed. Last week, I added the framework for remote learning. In the process, I hosed the remote. If you downloaded that day's svn, you were very unhappy. If you downloaded the next day's svn, and went into standby (which I completely fixed), you were very happy. The SVN is a snapshot of the day's work. We make mistakes. We have jobs and can't quite put the finishing touches on things. If you are using the svn, you have to be patient.
