   1  This directory contains all of the files related to the
   2  project_release.module, which provides a "Project release" node type
   3  so that projects can have releases. Each release has a version string,
   4  a title, a body of text, and a file associated with it. Once this
   5  module is enabled and releases are created, the pages to browse for
   6  projects on your site will have download links, as will the project
   7  nodes themselves. If the project_issue.module is installed, issues
   8  will have a version string for any projects that have releases.
   9  
  10  Project release nodes can be integrated with a CVS repository by
  11  enabling the cvslog module (http://drupal.org/project/cvslog).  This
  12  turns the form for adding a new release into a multi-page wizard.
  13  Users first select a valid CVS tag or branch, which then
  14  automatically fills in the version information based on site-specific
  15  code that understands your local tag and branch naming conventions.
  16  This functionality is only available in the DRUPAL-4-7--2 branch of
  17  the contributions/module/cvslog directory.
  18  
  19  If you enable this CVS integration, you can setup a script that
  20  periodically queries the database for new release nodes and creates
  21  release packages based on the specified CVS tags or branches. An
  22  example script (the one in use on drupal.org to package contributions)
  23  is provided in the package-release-nodes.php script.
  24  
  25  Send feature requests and bug reports to the issue tracking system for
  26  the project module: http://drupal.org/node/add/project_issue/project,
  27  and specify "Releases" as the component.
  28  
  29  The project_release.module was originally written by Derek Wright
  30  "dww" (http://drupal.org/user/46549) as part of the new system for
  31  releasing Drupal contributions. For background, see:
