I have set LevelPlayingField to load this new version of MC1.5 If anyone has any problems with it do let me know asap. Keith ======== PackageInfo comment reads: External Files Support ================ The default implementation of the two methods below considers all files and directories (with their contents) matching the package name to be part of the package. #externalFiles #externalFilesMatches e.g. package name 'Release'. files matching would include: Release.text Release/Introduction.text Release/Tutorial/ch1.text External Files Support - Monticello ======================================== *Only file based repositories (i.e. .mcz files) are supported at present Since your external files will change far less than your code, it is recommended that you use a separate package to manage files in order to save space and time. Files are included in the .mcz (which is a standard zip archive) as files/* according to the pattern files/<uuid>/<path>/<to>/<file> *note: the uuid will change with every snapshot, it is unique to that file in that snapshot *note: in changes browsers the file is considered to be changed if the fileSize has changed. Snapshotting a package with files uses a temporary directory in package-cache/files The #flushCachedVersions menu item deletes this directory. -- Damien Cassou http://damiencassou.seasidehosting.st
