I understand that rA seems to be more focused on using github for updates, but for me (and probably most users at this point in time) still use the svn repository for updates. On this note is it possible to start putting the current svn revision change numbers in the 'Recent Revision' box on the main page like you used to do? Also updates to the svn have been lagging behind the website which is another reason to put the revision numbers. It may indicate new updates are available in github, but there not available to download for a couple days later from the svn repository. Thanks.

They've been in correctly in sync for a few weeks now, and you can check revisions by clicking the "Timeline" link under "SVN".

I understand how to find it, but now users have to go out of there way to look for it in the timeline, when before it was there to view. Users basically got Appled, a feature was replaced with something they call better, not taking into account the people that rely on the older method, forcing you to upgrade. They might be in sync, but lately I have been able to view the changes in the Recent Revisoins box and not download the repository for another day or so. I will eventually learn to use github and so will others, but until then is it possible to track the svn revision numbers on the Recent Revision corresponding to the github change. Thanks.

I don't see the problem though. Since the current revisions are only for development and not for server usage you should have enough time to switch.

People who are running a server shouldn't rely on the current revision anyways and if they are really eager to be up-to-date and still keep their on code base, the switch to git should benefit them greatly.

 

In case of a single repo with a single branch the switch from SVN to Git shouldn't be hard either. Learning to handle Git is a matter of 1 day.

We decided to change "Recent Revisions" to display the GitHub RSS feed instead of SVN because now GitHub is the primary repository (that all developers are committing to). SVN is a now a mirror.

If you're looking for a timeline to follow that includes revision numbers, use the urls Euphy mentioned:

PS: you can also use a RSS feed reader, and import the RSS Feed links from the bottom of either Trac page.
