Title: Tags on Subversion Last modified: September 1, 2016 --- # Tags on Subversion * [philliplord](https://wordpress.org/support/users/philliplord/) * (@philliplord) * [9 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/tags-on-subversion/) * This is a very nice plugin, and thank you for releasing it. * It would be nice if version releases were tagged in subversion, as this would make upgrading easier for me. * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-fastest-cache/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-fastest-cache/) Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 22 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/tags-on-subversion/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/tags-on-subversion/page/2/?output_format=md) * Plugin Author [Emre Vona](https://wordpress.org/support/users/emrevona/) * (@emrevona) * [9 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/tags-on-subversion/#post-7717597) * How can I do that? * [Beherit](https://wordpress.org/support/users/beherit/) * (@beherit) * [9 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/tags-on-subversion/#post-7717734) * +1, now we don’t have stable release channel – all changes are live on production. [@emrevona](https://wordpress.org/support/users/emrevona/) if You use TortoiseSVN just click RMB on trunk folder and chose “Branch/tag” option. Then You need put revision to tag and confirm it 🙂 And the most important: in readme.txt You need to change “Stable tag” from trunk to some version that You taged. * Thread Starter [philliplord](https://wordpress.org/support/users/philliplord/) * (@philliplord) * [9 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/tags-on-subversion/#post-7717737) * After you have made the a commit which releases a new version, you just copy the whole of trunk to tags with the appropriate release version. * See, for example: * [http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn.branchmerge.tags.html](http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn.branchmerge.tags.html) * svn copy [http://svn.example.com/repos/calc/trunk](http://svn.example.com/repos/calc/trunk)\ [http://svn.example.com/repos/calc/tags/release-1.0](http://svn.example.com/repos/calc/tags/release-1.0)\- m “Tagging the 1.0 release of the ‘calc’ project.” * As beherit says, you also need to update the readme.txt tag which wordpress.org uses. * Then I can work out the current release version and the commit that caused simply from subversion. I normally install plugins using svn, so this makes it very easy for me to update. As a side effect, it also makes you version history a little better. * Plugin Author [Emre Vona](https://wordpress.org/support/users/emrevona/) * (@emrevona) * [9 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/tags-on-subversion/#post-7717756) * Actually I don’t release new version after little changes. * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-fastest-cache/stats/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-fastest-cache/stats/) * I released the previous new version at 12th July. After 12th July I have implemented new features. And I released the latest version at 29th August. During 47 days I was waiting for any issue. and I released new version when I am sure that there is no problem. * Isn’t it a good way? * [Beherit](https://wordpress.org/support/users/beherit/) * (@beherit) * [9 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/tags-on-subversion/#post-7720290) * You are wrong. For example: after release version 0.8.6.0 You have done a lot of commits, when someone clicked to download version 0.8.6.0 really download trunk folder with latest commits. Now we have version 0.8.6.1 and if You for mistake commit a very big bug that broken site then this bug will have a lots of users e.g. those who just update from version 0.8.6.0 or those who just download Your plugin. * Thread Starter [philliplord](https://wordpress.org/support/users/philliplord/) * (@philliplord) * [9 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/tags-on-subversion/#post-7722093) * I am running of trunk at the moment, which isn’t ideal, no. As Beherit says, so are many other people. * A more normal workflow would be this…. * On trunk: commit, commit, commit, decide that you have reached a release commit last documentation update for release (including stable tag update) copy trunk to tags with the new release version * start commits for new version. * If you want to wait for issues before release, then yes you can do this — you can make the svn copy from the last commit you want to be in the release, even if it is not the most recent commit on trunk. * For my own usage, I would rather use this plugin from a stable release rather than directly from trunk. * Plugin Author [Emre Vona](https://wordpress.org/support/users/emrevona/) * (@emrevona) * [9 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/tags-on-subversion/#post-7722365) * I prefer agile development. What do you think about it? * [Beherit](https://wordpress.org/support/users/beherit/) * (@beherit) * [9 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/tags-on-subversion/#post-7722573) * [@emrevona](https://wordpress.org/support/users/emrevona/) You can use agile development or what You want – the problem is that You not tag version that You release and user don’t download specific version but the latest version from trunk (with latest commits, not tested, unstable etc). * [Beherit](https://wordpress.org/support/users/beherit/) * (@beherit) * [9 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/tags-on-subversion/#post-8550620) * [@emrevona](https://wordpress.org/support/users/emrevona/) Still there is no tags and we have beta-unstable function in trunk which You are tagged as stable tag 🙁 * Plugin Author [Emre Vona](https://wordpress.org/support/users/emrevona/) * (@emrevona) * [9 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/tags-on-subversion/#post-8553702) * noo. Now it is stable version. I changed the files many times ago. * [Beherit](https://wordpress.org/support/users/beherit/) * (@beherit) * [9 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/tags-on-subversion/#post-8553729) * I think You don’t understand how WordPress SVN works 🙂 In readme.txt You should add tag number in “Stable tag” – this is stable tag for Your plugin version, not WordPress version as You already set. For now You should change “Stable tag: 4.7” to “Stable tag: 0.8.6.3” and then tag latest revision in trunk folder as“ 0.8.6.3”. For now download button points to latest files from trunk folder. * Plugin Author [Emre Vona](https://wordpress.org/support/users/emrevona/) * (@emrevona) * [9 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/tags-on-subversion/#post-8553751) * you are %100 right 🙂 I don’t know how to use.
