Blogging About Theming - At Last
I've fortunate to have some fairly vocal coworkers blogging about the inner workings of ONE/Northwest and how we fit into the Plone story. Lately, though, I've come to the conclusion that themers are a fairly quiet group of people in the Plone community, and I'd like to see that change. My goal is to post a loose, ongoing set of thoughts around "what I learned today in theming" in the hopes it might help someone else. Be gentle, as I am not the smartest, geekiest person out there. :)
Today: beware of using the wrong version of Subversion. I recently got a new IMac, and in setting up my development environment, I grabbed Subversion 1.5. This isn't a bad thing in itself -- the problem is that our svn repository uses 1.4, and it took me several hours to back down to 1.4 before I could start making checkins again. A rather unfortunate experience, given that we had a high priority project that had to roll out. Lesson learned, 2 years added to my life.
Don't forget to check out the Weblion blog that explains how you can get around some Python ugliness involving Subversion 1.5 (in the event that you do indeed have the right version of svn on your own repo): http://weblion.psu.edu/news/subversion-1.5-has-landed
