[fusion-dev] Fusion 1.1 Status

[Zac Spitzer]

the mg 2.1 release is why i was putting my hand up to test 1.1 :)

what I was suggesting with subversion is an easy way for someone like
myself who
is happy to update often to just replace the current fusion tree in
mapguide with a version
directly checked out of the fusion ' builds' tree. rather than having
to build it from the svn src.

I am not really much of a fan of the way fusion and other things are
snapshoted version wise tied to
the long points between mapguide releases.

having the compiled builds in the subversion would allow me to do
something like this to a mg install

cd /mgos2.0/webserverextensions/wwww
mv fusion fusion_release
svn co http://svn.osgeo.org/fusion/builds/development fusion

that way I just have to svn update to grab the latest build to test
