Hi Andrew,
While I believe that it
would be possible to set up nightly builds for Fusion, it would be more
work for you to deal with these than with SVN. It might look daunting, but SVN is really easy to work
with:
- rename your existing
fusion directory to fusion_old
- create a new empty
fusion directory
- right-click on the new
fusion directory and
- choose SVN Checkout
- click on OK (or
something like that)
- copy all of the contents
of
-
fusion_old/templates/mapguide to
-
fusion/templates/mapguide
That should just work, and
now any time you want to update to the latest build, you can
right-click on the fusion directory and say "SVN Update". You don't
ever need to re-copy the templates, and for the cost of these few extra
steps staying on top of trunk is now a single-click effort. If you need to go back to the original fusion for
some reason, you can just rename the directories back with no ill
effects.
If you do go down this
path, I think someone mentioned on the Fusion list that you might need
to add application/json to the MIME types if you're running Windows
Server 2003 with IIS.

That and the SVN are simply too much extra work for those of us
just interested in testing stuff. The SVN for Fusion has so many files
and folders, it's not possible for someone to just 'know' where to put
stuff on their system to make it work. A zip file would be nice, like
on the GetIt page.....Why can't the build scripts be automated to build
stuff every night/week and then put it somewhere? That seems like a
pretty simple thing to do, provided we have access to a server
somewhere.
