What is the difference between between the following 3 files: 1. freeswitch-1.0.3.tar.gz 19-Feb-2009 00:34 26M 2. freeswitch-1.0.latest.tar.gz 24-Jul-2008 12:00 22M 3. freeswitch-snapshot.tar.gz 23-Mar-2009 03:02 49M Which one should I download, if I want the latest (newest) ? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Different-files-%28-%29-tp22670515p22670515.html Sent from the Freeswitch-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
I would highly recommend you use the snapshot or svn checkout because we are close to 1.0.4 and it looks like the symlink wasn't updated for 1.0.3 we'll get that fixed. /b On Mar 23, 2009, at 5:24 PM, henkoegema wrote:

BTW, you also recommend SVN trunk for production servers? IMHO, should be a stable release for this purpose. On 3/23/09, Brian West <brian@freeswitch.org> wrote:

FreeSWITCH is one of those unusual projects where the SVN trunk is generally more stable than the tagged releases. -MC
Thats up to you... I use SVN Trunk when I know things are good but thats my job... thats why I work hard on QA for the project. We did have some regressions over the past few days that we did finally narrow down and fix over the weekend... and yes we work pretty much 24/7 :) We are trying to get SVN to the point so we can release 1.0.4 and it has MANY fixes over 1.0.3. /b On Mar 23, 2009, at 6:19 PM, Pablo Hernan Saro wrote:

I run SVN on several production servers... "Stable Releases" are just that some point in the code where the maintainers felt it was stable enuff to release on that given day... With FreeSwitch however it never fails, a big bug is found and fixed w/in 2 days of that "stable release" so its not really that stable at all... Until we get more people testing and actually reporting bugs on RCs I doubt this well ever change...

First of all, thanks for your answers. You guys are awesome and FS rocks. Don't take it the wrong way... My custom is to install production systems using stable versions and apply the corresponding security patches as soon as they are released. But I don't change software versions until I really need to do it (for example when I need a new functionality). I've installed production systems using FS SVN trunk, but it changes every day. So, to keep it up to date I have to re-compile it every week at least. I was wondering if there is a version you can affirm has no major bugs. If not, there is no problem with that... Just wondering... Pablo On Mon, Mar 23, 2009 at 8:32 PM, Brian West <brian@freeswitch.org> wrote:

No offense taken.

Nothing wrong with this custom.

Understood. Production systems have their own issues. One custom that is common is to have a production system and a "sandbox" system. You could have your sandbox system to a "make current" every night and you could run simple tests via cron to see if anything important to you is somehow broken. If all is well then you know that you can upgrade your production system.
I was wondering if there is a version you can affirm has no major bugs. If not, there is no problem with that... Just wondering...
This is a tough one. It may be a minor bug to me but it could be a major bug to you. In other words this is almost an impossible question to answer. This much I can say: the FS devs make lots of changes each day but they don't leave the SVN trunk in an unstable state at any point, especially at the end of the day. (GMT -6 time zone.) The bottom line is still the same: FreeSWITCH is one of those rare software projects where the SVN trunk is almost always more stable and less buggy than the most recent "stable" release. My recommendation to you is to find the update schedule that works best for you, be it daily, weekly or some other period. -MC
Hi Michael, All I have to say is thank you very much. Thanks for this explanation, that's what I was looking for. So, I will figure out which is the most convenient update schedule for me and I will build a sandbox for this exclusive purpose. Not only FS rocks, but the community too.
