Hi all, When SourceForge upgraded their CVS software, some subtle change in the URL structure broke the version check. DQSD ver 3.1.6.0 checks against
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/*checkout*/dqsd/dqsd/version.xml?conte nt-type=text/xml which currently returns a revision listing of version.xml. The correct URL (used by 3.1.8) is http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/dqsd/dqsd/version.xml?rev=HEAD&content -type=text/xml I have a couple of concerns with this; a) 3.1.6 users won't get the update notification, since their version checks consistently fail, and most of them have probably turned off automatic update checks, since their explorer.exe locked up if Sourceforge was down (also fixed in 3.1.8). b) If Sourceforge/ViewCVS pulls the same stunt again, the auto-update chain is broken once more, and we'll have this same problem. For (a), I guess there's not much we can do... We'll have to hope most people notice, either from the mailing lists or dqsd.net that DQSD has a new version available. For (b), and I think we've talked about this before, maybe we should keep a valid copy of version.xml in a known location at dqsd.net instead? This means more work for release management, since it has to be copied over, but it's no big deal (I'm doing the work anyway ;)). Ideas?
