Hi!

I'm a bit confused. I need this subscriptions module. First I tried to download the stable released version for Drupal 5.1. It didn't work. After that I tried the downloadable dev version. It did not work.

Then I started to look into dev version code. I found out that the permissions for taxonomy categories were screwed. Fixed them but still did not work.

Checked out the DRUPAL-5 branch. Same errors as downloadable dev. Categories did not work.

Checked out HEAD. Categories worked but email sending was screwed up. Made fixes to HEAD and got the things working that I need. I made a bug report and attached the patch.

The thing that worries me is that which branch is the one I should use on my site? Should I go ahead and install the HEAD version that I have fixed? Or should I install the DRUPAL-5 version?

This is just in case I need to update the version at some point to an official release that works.

Is there somewhere a node that describes the general guidelines how these branches work?

I'm new to this (module and drupal). It looks to me the DRUPAL-5 branch is where development is happening (but I'm not sure).

I'm successfully using the latest 5.x-1.x-dev release (subscriptions.module 1.62.2.23) with a patch to fix the taxonomy categories.

I agree this module is rough. Hopefully we can change that, because it's such a necessary module for me too.

yes, DRUPAL-5 branch is definitely in use and not HEAD, as you can see in the cvs log.

our site is currently using 5.x-1.1 with some fixes locally applied.

arthurf, thanks for your development work on this module. perhaps you can grant cvs access to i10neorg and/or myself so we can work together and get a little cleanup/stablization done soon and put out a 5.x-1.5.

I've been focusing development on the 5.0 branch- 4.7 is really starting to get neglected at this point....
