Legacy stack woes II -- Restated

Jacque, Richard, et al: Let me ask this another way: Is it possible to distribute a source stack for other developers to use to build a standalone in a single format that can be used by all versions of the Distribution Builder? If build settings are included in the source stack, older

All, Is it possible to distribute a source stack for other developers to use to build a standalone in a single format that can be used by all versions of the Distribution Builder? Best I've come up with 1. Add DB settings to current-format stack. 2. Convert stack to Legacy format. 3. Ship

Richard, et al: Consider the number of potentially affected users: the subset of Rev users still using only older versions, If the issue were simply that developers have not chosen to upgrade to current-format versions, I would ignore the issue and release all stacks in the current

Hi All, New issue: Standalone settings for Legacy stacks are stored in separate Config stacks, while those settings are internal in the current stack format. If one is distributing a stack to be used by developers to build standalones (eg: SDB_Server, SDB_Utilities): * If saved in legacy

Hi Richard, AFAIK the standalone settings are stored in custom properties, and do not rely on anything specific to the new format for storage. First, let's make sure we're talking apples apples: by standalone settings, I am referring to the standalone build settings: platform(s) to build

This preference doesn't seem to get applied, here. I've had it set since the feature appeared in the ope-beta, and now in 2.8.1 gm-1 Studio, but all stacks get saved as 2.7, anyway. It's bugzilla'd as bug 4695 pending. Mac PB G4, OS 10.4.9 Mark On 5 Jun 2007, at 18:59, J. Landman Gay

Bless you, Jacque! I don't think there is such a property, but you can read the binary file to see the format. If it starts with REVO then it is the new format. But for what you are doing, I don't think you'll have to resort to this. Thanks to you it was simple for me to create a menuItem

Hi All, In setting up an SDBII demo for interested parties I have run into the need to distribute stacks in Legacy format so the software can be used by Linux developers. Working in RRv2.7+ and building distribution downloads in Legacy format cries out for: developers' handlers to: 1.
