Patches are fine. That is the nature of the beast. However, if you're going to release a new version number there needs to be a full download also available with the patches applied that corresponds to that new version number.

Otherwise, you're just asking new users to download an old and known buggy version first, then apply patches in order to get it up to date. Far be it from me to tell anyone how to run their community though. If this is the way you want to do things, then more power to you. Please email me if need be as I won't be keeping tabs on this thread any longer.

Thank you for your time.

Once you guys get it figured out just shoot me an email at admin at opensourcecms.com telling me what you want to do. We will only demo full release versions so if you want 2.2.x demo'ed you'll have to have a full download available. As of now, XOOPS is no longer listed at opensourceCMS.com. Thanks.

I'm simply confused. If 2.2.4 is the latest 2.2.x release there needs to be a full download for it. There are new XOOPS users that want to download the latest version. They don't want to download 2.2.3 and then patch their system to reach the latest release. Not everyone is a veteran XOOPS users who is already running 2.2.x.

This brings me to another question. Is the 2.2 series what you want demo'ed at opensourceCMS.com? I simply assumed all new users would want the 2.2 series therefore that's what was being demo'ed. Does XOOPS prefer to have the 2.0.x series represent them instead?

At the moment I've taken XOOPS down until this gets straightened out. Thanks.

I don't get it... It says the latest release is 2.2.4, but there is only a patch for 2.2.3 to go to 2.2.4?

So are you saying the only full release is 2.2.3, but in order to use the latest code you have to then turn around and update your download of 2.2.3 to 2.2.4?

That is ridiculous. If I'm a new user I just want to download the latest stable release and be done with it. I don't want to download and install an old release, then have to immediately patch it in order to be using the "newest" release.

That's as silly as e107 where you had to download an old buggy version of .6.x then go through 5 patches in order to be using the latest code. Why they didn't have a complete download that incorporated all the patches is beyond me. Please don't go down that path. Please post a complete download of 2.2.4.
