CDA v11.11.23 available

Huge milestone. As promised, CDA v11.11.23 was released. You can download it from http://cda.webdetails.org/. The first of many, features an easy to use installer that will work on any operating system.

Works with any version of pentaho, form 3.6 to 4.1.

On a related note, the ctools-installer script was also updated. Version 1.9 now adds the support for a flag (-b) that allows selecting the branch you want to install, either dev or stable. Currently, choosing stable will only affect CDA, where this latest version will be installed, but as new versions of the other plugins are released you can switch from bleeding edge to a more stable / tested version.


Have fun, this is the first of the rapid release cycle of the CTools!

  4. The installer deletes all files in the cda directory, also the .svn directories used by subversion. Could you change the install program so it does not delete these directories or it's content, so subversion can be kept happy.

  5. Do you think it's a good idea to have the cda directory in the svn? (this is an honest question, I've been having mixed feelings about this).

    What you ask isn't practical, as we can do a rm in the installer for the entire dir but on do a loop on every dir to do this

  6. We are having everything in SVN for years now. So for me it works.
    I understand that what i am asking causes extra work. It is up to you to decide to include it or not. I can work around it, but the goal of your installer, do an easy install, is not reached in my use case.

  7. this would be hard to do in the GUI installer, but maybe possible in the ctools-installer. File a bug in http://www.webdetails.org/redmine/ for improvement please
