TortoiseHg Source Code Vs Codeplex source code

Hi,

I see that difference between the source code that i got from TortoiseHg and source code downloaded from codeplex.I am able to enable custom skin using tortoiseHg source code going in 

Administration->Site settings and enable user skin option customization 

but I have issue doing same thing from latest version of source code from codeplex

aren't both supposed to behave same way or I am missing anything?

Thanks,

cms_developer

Re: TortoiseHg Source Code Vs Codeplex source code

Hi,

Yes in theory they should be the same but apparently in practice they are not since occasionally people report problems with the download link. I recommend use Tortoise HG, I have  no control over whether the download links that codeplex generates for source code are complete. They generate those links from the repository somehow but they also support Team Foundation server in addition to Mercurial for source code repositories. I guess they don't have it perfected for Mercurial.

The only thing I can do is report it to the codeplex team, but to be sure you get the complete source code the best solution is to just use Tortoise HG. This also makes it easy to get updates on a daily basis or as often as you want to.

Best,

Joe

Re: TortoiseHg Source Code Vs Codeplex source code

Joe,

I agree with your idea. That's true for development environment to test and explore features.

But for production environment I can't use TortoiseHg source code and update daily since it might have some untested feature that can introduce bugs and hamper user experience.

If we can find a way that downloaded source code and the update from repository are sync that would be great at least for the same date. Just my 2 cents I don't know how feasible it would be practically.

I was able to introduce skins customization easily on the TortoiseCode by going in Admin link but couldn't do that even in the latest code that I got today.

Thanks,

cms_developer

Re: TortoiseHg Source Code Vs Codeplex source code

I am a little curious about the statement you mentioned. You said you cannot update via Mercurial for a production environment. Are you using the daily code in a production environment?

Re: TortoiseHg Source Code Vs Codeplex source code

I am using daily updates from TortoiseHg in my development environment to explore features and test things.But for production environment we have download mojo particular version and we update the features from dev to staging and then apply to production.

My major concern is that making sync with these different version. If you have docs that explain this process would be great.

Re: TortoiseHg Source Code Vs Codeplex source code

I notice that Joey always marks a production release the comments in the Mercurial repository. What you could do is take that snap shot of the code set and store in a different folder. That way you will have the current release code base to work with.

TortoiseHg Source Code Not Getting Downloaded

Hi Joe,

I tried to download the source code by TortoiseHg but it fails and states command returned code 255. This has happened over 20-30 times. What might be the cause behind it?

Thanks & Regards,

Sudhir

Re: TortoiseHg Source Code Vs Codeplex source code

We've had problems off and on with the repository on codeplex.

I suggest try first cloning to revision 0, then pull all the changesets using HG Workbench and then do HG Update to update the working copy to the latest version.

Hope that helps,

Joe
