It literally only takes a few seconds to switch a 7.8 branch checkout to 7.7. And I don't think there are any prefs or database differences, so you could potentially share prefs and data between the branches.
Or, you can do as I do, and keep separate cache & prefs dirs for each checked out version that you run. You could write a switch-branch batch file to accomplish this with minimal effort. That's what I do on linux...I have a shell script that automates all the housekeeping that I do when I switch branches. For my purposes, to make sure that my plugins still run with legacy squeezecenter code, I checked out 7.3.4 and then copied the whole directory tree and then deleted the .git dir in the new (static) 7.3.4 folder. (Then I spent a lot of time getting 7.3.4 to run with perl 5.14.2, but that's another matter). But anyway, that's another approach: if you have a branch that you know won't see any more updates, then check it out and then "orphan" it from the git repo. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ gharris999's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=115 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=95917 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
