Jason and others,
Thank you so much,
I've followed my plan, reinforced by your "yes" comments.
The only thing that surprised me a bit is that what was installed was 5.8-dev, not 5.7.
There isn't anything unstable or experimental about 5.8-dev, is there?
The tags don't work that way for core. Any development would be done in 5.x-dev. Also, there is no development being done in Drupal 5.x, only security patches and occasional bug fixes. Here's the list of core branches and tags: http://drupal.org/node/93997 DRUPAL-5-8 will only exist when they tag 5.x-dev with whatever changes have been applied to DRUPAL-5.
My goals are to: 1. use CVS for more convenient updating 2. use the latest stable version Drupal that has the modules I need.
What you have with DRUPAL-5 is the latest there is to have.
I hope these goals are not incompatible.
thanks again for the reassurance,
Shai
If you want to get a handle on CVS with Drupal, start here and read every relevant thing under it: http://drupal.org/handbook/cvs Also, anything on the dev mail list from dww for the last year and a half or so about CVS or project management. -- Jason Flatt http://www.oadaeh.net/ Father of Six: http://www.flattfamily.com/ (Joseph, 14; Cramer, 12; Travis, 10; Angela; Harry, 7; and William, 12:04 am, 12-29-2005) Linux User: http://www.xubuntu.org/ Drupal Fanatic: http://drupal.org/
