Could some1 please explain the codeplex tree structure to a newbie...
Thanks in advance.
I have downloaded the 4.5.2 binaries from codeplex followed the instructions / videos etc. All fine. No worries.
Now I head over to the source code section hoping to find the 4.5.2. Ah ha there it is the 4.5 under release (atleast the first 2 digits match)
I download that, run it and screeeeech !!!! slam on the breaks. I see 4.somebeta II in the web.standard.config (<add key="umbracoConfigurationStatus" value="" />)
Ooopss !!! wrong thing
head back to forum and see this 1ndeful post. hopes go high again...
can some1 please help / explain to us (me and any other poor soul(s)) who will be joining after me,
How would one go about getting something very similar for e.g. the 4.5.2 binay tree structure (with the source code in this case) any links,pointers, anything will do.
The current 4.5.2 release was linked to this changeset (on the download page you can see the changeset). Initially, 4.5 was going to be called 4.1, but the team decided that there were so many new things in it that the release was renamed, not the branche though.
Thanks a lot for the quick reply. It worked for me.
I am documneting the steps below I followed to get a build folder like the one we get in the ready-made binaries. (some guru needs to bless it first :) )
Ok So moving on to part 2 of my adventure, I get the changeset (umbraco-76545\releases\umbraco 4.5)
I copied it to my local drive. Extracted it, then i took the contents of the entire umbraco 4.5 from the downloaded folder (releases) and copied it out to a temp folder let's say like this
Next i unleash nant on it (had to use the 0.91 Alpha 2) the 0.90 version complained about the .net 4.0 version or something. anyway...
After that (lights blinking, hdd spinning, all 4 cpu's firing on all 8 cylinders...) all looks fine and i ended up with the build folder as highlighted in the above image.
Now lets see.
Operation was successfull. !!! lets check and see if the paitent is alive :)
Great! By the way, here's a blog post that explains another approach, might be useful if you are digging into the code.
Also, I don't know why you'd want to build from source, but before you make changes to Umbraco, do check out the API, I have not found a need to change the source yet. It would also prevent you from upgrading in the future.

Thanks guys. It's getting exciting now.

Thanks for the link. it was perfect.
Agree with you on the other points. It's more of "academic interest" and just in case of emergency. good to know kind of thing.
Cheers.
