Fusion Developers Corner

SVN How To

SVN is organized into several main folders:

trunk::

This is the main development area for Fusion and is always the most up-to-date version. It will typically be somewhat unstable and should not be used for deploying applications.

branches::

Releases of Fusion are organized into branches. When a new major or minor release is made, it is copied from trunk to the branches folder and named fusion-<major>-<minor>. Any bug fixes related to that version are applied to the branch and new bugfix releases can be created from the branch from time to time. A branch is considered stable and usable for deploying applications.

tags::

All major, minor and bugfix releases of Fusion are tagged by copying the appropriate branch revision to the tags folder. Binary releases are created by checking out a tag sub folder and running the build process against that folder. You should not commit any changes to a tag.

sandbox::

Everyone who is a Fusion developer should have a sandbox folder to use for testing out new ideas and implementing specific functionality. Sandbox directories can be used for anything you like.
