last known good tree?

[Jörn Nettingsmeier <po...@uni-duisburg.de>]

hi everyone!


i need to get some work done this weekend, and for that i need a working 
tree. i can't test head since the migration target is broken, and i 
couldn't figure out what was wrong.

so in order to get a usable test system, i decided to go with revision 
-r426602 as per thorsten's recommendation on the user list, but it looks 
like workflow is broken beyond quick repair in that one.

i have absolutely no problem with having my own publications and modules 
broken time and again, but the default publication should always be in a 
halfway decent (as in, it displays a page and allows editing and 
publishing) condition. it hasn't been for over two weeks now.

can someone recommend the most recent revision that is known to work?

it is becoming obvious that it's a mistake to develop fundamental 
changes in the trunk. this should be discouraged from now on, so that 
revolutionary work goes in a branch or sandbox or whatever, and other 
bugfixes can still be applied to the head.
once the revolution has settled, we can have one huge merge and 
everybody is warned and can plunge in head-first. what's happening now 
is a waste of time and resources. if i downgrade, my findings and 
improvements will be next-to-useless and will need to be 
reproduced/ported to head once it's ready, and if i don't, i can't do 
anything at all.

andreas, my ramblings are not intended to discredit your work - i'm 
really looking forward to the new code. but what irks me is that i have 
plenty of time and plenty of motivation to work on lenya atm, and yet 
all i can do is scratch my balls and worry about my next project deadline.


best,

jörn
