Re: [Radiant] Which "Ba" ?

[Sean Cribbs]

I think it's great that Aslak chose to fork Radiant rather than to just 
create extensions.  At some point, you need to consider whether the 
monkey-patches are worth it, or whether it's better to use Radiant as 
the base.  That said, at times when I've tried Ba, setup from a blank 
database was difficult to say the least.  Maybe you could contribute 
patches to Ba to help out with that?

No.  Not everyone does or has reason to.

  

clone the database, and you're set.



Its more than just cloning the DB

It seems like a lot of fiddly work compared to how I've installed other
extensions.

This attitude - 'hacking' - says something about how 'user friendly'

very nice, easy to install, easy to use, easy to understand, ADDITIVE
packages.

Sorry to be bottom posting in reply to a top-post reply, but there you
are 

John, could you read over my question again.

The aslakhellesoy branch is not an extension.  It is a complete
installation.  The README.textile says to create a new clone and do a
complete bootstrap, blowing away all you already have.

I don't want to do that.  That's why I phrased my question the way I did.

There area few other branches.  OMA, JHANNES, OC.
OC and JHANNES seem to be a clone of the ASLAKHELESOY
OMA (Ole Morten Amundsen) seems to be a proper extension as far as the
code goes, but the installation instructions haven't changed, which is
very confusing.

I don't want to blow away my current application.

merged with the aslakhellesoy repository regularly.

[Radiant] Which "Ba" ?

[Anton Aylward]

I'd like to try out the conference/event management system 'Ba' that I
see on GitHub.

However there are 4 different copies, and one says it will blow away the
database on installation!

Can someone advise on which to use, please.
