Author Topic: Which version to download? (Read 4357 times)

Hello.

I'm now ready to download RoundCube and trying to determine which version to download.

I'm using FreeBSD. Should I download the FreeBSD version or the Stable version? How about the 0.4Beta version - does it contain fixes for the Stable version? If the FreeBSD version is suggested, does it get as much attention related to bug fixes as the Stable version?

How do I make the decision?

Thanks.

install it from ports and then upgrade to current svn

Thanks dziobak.

Q: In trying to interpret what you're saying, should I install the FreeBSD version first which is version 0.3 then, upgrade to Stable 0.3.1?

Thanks.

I see no benefit to installing from ports and then upgrading. I'd simply install from a more recent source instead.

The current SVN is a further de-bugged version of 0.4-beta. I'm using that and it is quite fine. You can find a recent snapshot at Roundcube - Nightly Builds. The 0.4 branch has many feature improvements over the 0.3.x versions.

If you have the time, you may wish to wait for 0.4-stable to be released, especially if you want to simply install it and then not mess with it for a while. Otherwise, go ahead and pull down the most recent of the nightly builds linked above.

@ABerglund
installing on freebsd have some pluses - pkg, dependences...

@cubicz1
use portsnap fetch && portsnap extract before installing. install from ports and then download latest svn from here: http://trac.roundcube.net/changeset/3755/trunk?old_path=%2F&format=zip and replace the files

Thanks to both of you.

@dziobak
Can you describe the steps in a different way, please? Thanks.

1. type in console 'portsnap fetch && portsnap extract' to upgrade ports package
2. install from ports RC it should be now RC 0.4b
3. download the file from link i post in previous post
4. unpack it and replace the files in RC root.

Thanks dziobak.

I hope this will be more clear when I go to install it, maybe later today or tomorrow, possibly.

Thanks again.
