Some updates on SMF 2.1

[Antes]

mmmm...arg...yes I thought I fixed that some time ago, but apparently either I didn't fix it or I fixed and not pushed it...or fixed somewhere else.

In the future, it'd be awesome if you could post things you find right in a GitHub issue so we can get to it sooner

Git hub... Bla...

I hate it too, but if you're using it purely as an issues tracker it's painless and effective.

GitHub is fantastic. Although you don't have to agree obviously

[ARG01]

I don't like GitHub much either. Everyone keeps stating to download 2.1 file updates from GitHub but I find no specific single file download options. The only download I see is the full 2.1 zip. I have to copy/paste any file updates. Very time consuming.

[Antechinus]

Yeah if you want the merge capability you have to go full-on into Gitting, which IMO is more trouble than it's worth.

[ARG01]

It would help if the main zip was updated every few days or at least once a week. 

[Matthew K.]

You could just check out the repository and update it when you want the new files and it'd automatically update any changes...

Not sure what you mean? The Repository is only copy/paste. 

[Matthew K.]

Not if you get the GitHub client.

I didn't really want to bother but I'll give that a try. However, I still think that a weekly updated zip would is a good idea and, since obtaining updated files would be easier it would probably get more members involved as well. 

[ARG01]

Okay, just what I was attempting to avoid. Keep getting GitHub errors when attempting to add a repository. I still say an updated zip would be good. I guess it's back to copy/paste for now.

Agreed.

Right column, last button is: "Download ZIP". With this you download the most up-to-date version of the repository...not sure if that is what you mean.

[ARG01]

Yes, I know that but how often is the zip updated? It would be nice to have it updated regularly.

[Kindred]

I thought that the ZIP from that button was created using the files currently in the repository

[Illori]

it is, it is automatically generated when the button is clicked.
