Subversion

At Simple:Press Forum, we use Subversion for change and release control of all aspects of our WordPress plugin. Users are free to grab a copy of anything in the various repositories. Commit access is limited to members of the SPF team. You can access our Subversion repositories at:

http://svn.simplepressforum.com

The following repositories are available in the SPF Subversion:

Trunk

Tags

Branches

Site Theme

Graphics Masters

Icon Sets

Language Files

Each type of repository is covered in more detail below.

Trunk Repository

The TRUNK repo is the current main development version of Simple:Press Forum. This is where we do all of our development work.

Users are free to check out or grab an external copy of TRUNK but it should only be used on development sites and not on production sites. We certainly welcome users trying out the next version of SPF and providing feedback, but depending on the stage of the current development, we may or may not provide support for the TRUNK repository version.

The TRUNK repository should be considered unstable at all times.

Tags Repository

The TAGS directory is a collection of repositories representing a history of all the SPF versions since we started using Subversion. Any older version of SPF is available through this directory of repositories for users to use.

All repositories in the TAGS directory can be assumed to be stable at all times.

Branches Repository

The BRANCHES directory is a collection of repositories where the SPF team may be experimenting with some features or might be readying a bug fix version for the current stable release of SPF.

All repositories in the BRANCHES directory should be considered unstable at all times and should not be used.

Site Theme Repository

The SITE THEME directory is a collection of repositories for the WordPress theme that we have used on our Simple:Press Forum site. Users are free to use any version available there, but should be warned that they explicitly designed and code for our use. They are certainly not coded for mass distribution (ie no widget support).

Graphics Masters Repository

The GRAPHICS Masters directory is a collection of all the graphics master files (ie PhotoShop PSDs) that we use to create the various images displayed throughout the forum. Users are free to grab any master graphics they want to create their own unique graphics for their forum.

If users create additional icon sets, we would be happy to host them on our Simple:Press Forum Skins and Icons Page and make them available to other users.

Icon Sets Repository

The Icon Sets directory is a collection of repositories that contain standard SPF icon sets that have been translated into foreign languages. Users are free to use any of these that they wish. If you translate an icon set into another foreign language, you can contribute it back to the SPF community if you like and we will host it.

Language Files Repository

The Language Files directory is a collection of repositories that contain SPF .mo and .po language translation files where users have translated the SPF text strings into various languages. Users are free to use any translation that they would like. If you want to translate SPF into another language, please use our contact form at Simple:Press Forum and we can get you set up and host your language translation.
