2. That's a good point. There are no labels in CVS. I'll think about it in the future. It'd be a good feature to have.
4. If the source control is working then I have to disagree with you. But I'm the "project lead" in my night job and we still have bug count to hit. <smile/> -----Original Message----- From: Neil Sleightholm [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, October 23, 2008 10:54 To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Building WiX 1. I'll give the CVS branch a go and see how I get on. 2. My point was that the zip file is a working set that matches a known release. CVS is a moving target which as far as I can tell isn't labelled so I can't get the source for v3.0.xxx and know that that matches what I am running. 3. I'll try and get some bug raised over the next few days. 4. Fair point but in my opinion good source control outweighs bug fixing - but then as the build and cm guy I in my day job I would say that :-) Neil -----Original Message----- From: Rob Mensching [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 23 October 2008 18:42 To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Building WiX 1. This was my fault in the past, and things are better now (or so I've heard <smile/>). 2. CVS should be better than sources.zip. If not, it'd be good to know what's busted in CVS. 3. It would be good to know which things are missing for you and fix them. 4. We'll move to SVN eventually... there are just other things that *don't* work that take priority. <smile/> -----Original Message----- From: Neil Sleightholm [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, October 23, 2008 10:17 To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Building WiX Rob I take your point about CVS but a lot of my comments are still true when build from CVS, I have tried using CVS but found a few problems: 1. For a while CVS seemed to be way behind the zip file, I must admit that doesn't seem to be as bad now. 2. CVS is not always a working set of files, I don't really want to be debugging code unrelated to my changes. 3. I still found things missing from CVS. 4. CVS is crap! (Sorry my own opinion, any chance of moving to SVN on Sourceforge).

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Building WiX The instructions should say, "Sync files from CVS". The source.zip is just provided for quick look up during debugging on a machine that you might not have CVS source on. If you're going to be working with the WiX toolset code, you need to be sync'd to CVS. -----Original Message----- From: Neil Sleightholm [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, October 23, 2008 03:48 To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Building WiX I will raise bugs for the instructions. Do you also want them for missing files? I have seen posts mentioning the limited file space and that being the reason not everything is included in the zip.
