Is there a way to install / maintain Prose Point using SVN or some other version control system.
That would make updating Prose Point a snap!
Thanks,

Thanks for the info. A question:
Don't you copy snapshots of releases?
For example, http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~bengtan/prosepoint/tags/0.18
Doesn't that exist?
Thanks,
Victor

Tags are used for tracking releases, yes.
Tags are used for tracking releases, yes.
(Although I can't yet find out how to browse the source at a particular tag with the Launchpad files browser)
However some of the ProsePoint modules in the repository don't get assigned version numbers except as part of a build process.
So, if you have branch 'checked out' to the tag, say, prosepoint-0.18, you have the source for ProsePoint release 0.18, but the source files for the ProsePoint modules are not yet versioned.

OK, I will check it out
Perhaps I can develop a process.
Will check out 0.16, upgrade to 0.17 and then to 0.18, see how that can be done with bzr
Thanks for your prompt reply,

Hi,
You can pull ProsePoint out of Launchpad if you know how to use bzr. The development trunk is at:
https://code.launchpad.net/~bengtan/prosepoint/trunk
and the latest revision (if you want to browse) is:
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~bengtan/prosepoint/trunk/revision/299
Once you pull it onto your local system, you can proceed as if you had just unzipped an official download package.
Please keep in mind, though, that if you do this, you are using an unversioned development version of ProsePoint, so I hope you know what you are doing :)
