<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2>No. CVS is latest
version of someone's work. It may be that the maintainer hasn't done
anywork on the module towards updating it. It may be that they haven't
committed any patches. If they haven't, then it will be the same code as
the 4.6 branch.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>CVS modules are the CVS version of that
specific module. It has no relation to the Drupal HEAD/CVS version.
This is not a problem, this is an 'on purpose'. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>If a module has been branched for 4.7, then
it should work or be a close facsimile of working. Many many many module
owners are simply waiting until RC1 is released.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>While we want people to test test test and
report back bugs and supply patches for CVS Drupal, it is still strongly advised
to run the latest stable release specifically for these reasons. Lack of
available modules, moving code and db schema target. Now, if you need a
given contrib module, then feel free to update it if you can and submit a patch
back to that modules project page. This may help get it updated
faster.</FONT></DIV>

<P><FONT size=2>Hi,<BR><BR>I seem to download a lot of modules marked
module-cvs.tar.gz, but when I open them, it is still a module for Drupal
4.6.<BR><BR>I think it might be my limited knowledge about these terminologies,
so please correct me if I am wrong. isn't CVS supposed to indicate the latest
version? Isn't a module that is marked as CVS supposed to work on Drupal CVS and
hence also Drupal 4.7 Beta X?<BR><BR>I currently find it very hard to find any
useful modules for my sites, because of this problem.<BR><BR>I recall something
like this circulating on the list before, but I can't find that now. I also
recall quite a nifty new UI for module downloads (which seemingly didn't work
100% correctly) but I am not sure if it was on the scratch page or the live
page, and where to find it now, but that was indeed nice.<BR><BR>Can someone
shed some light on this for me,
please?<BR><BR>Regards,<BR><BR>Kobus<BR><BR><BR>--<BR>[ Drupal support list | <A
