Good point.
The decision about whet...Dear Rodney,<br /><br />Good point.<br /><br />The decision about whether to revert some packages back to their last clean version will probably have to be made package by package.<br /><br />Some, like File Manager, can build off not only the most recent release, but off work done since then (in the case of Fileman, by George Timson for Medsphere) and not yet adopted by VA.<br /><br />Others may well need to go back to an earlier version before they were architecturally damaged. I can think of no examples offhand, but I do remember that there are such cases.<br /><br />Eventually, I agree we should investigate in this discussion how to launch each package properly.<br /><br />In the meantime, I also agree we will need to discuss the general principles and problems involved with taking an overly centralized codebase and reorienting it to the VISTA lifecycle.<br /><br />Yours truly,<br />RickRick Marshallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01707062453047354335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6154450673364654394.post-58389101737707451462009-06-25T16:57:22.050-07:002009-06-25T16:57:22.050-07:00Should we consider looking at the last "clean...Should we consider looking at the last "clean version" release of each package, and then begin our discussion of the life cycle from that point?Rodney H.
