I'm using 4.7.x and starting to play with the Project module so that I can use it properly when I start on an upcoming project.
It will be used on a project that will not have a cvs, but I would still like to take advantage of the nice looking and easy to use (for the user) release section on the project page instead of just attaching the file to the node. :)
FYI: I'm using godaddy, and I don't have command-line access to my host's web server.
I guess what I'm asking is...is there a way to make a release node without using cvs?
Any advice on how I could best do this?

project_release.module doesn't depend on cvs.module
if you use project 4.7.x-2.*, and just enable project.module and project_release.module that comes with it, it should be exactly what you want. the separation of project* from CVS isn't totally clean, but project* certainly doesn't depend on cvs.module, and when i wrote the new release system, allowing release nodes on sites without CVS was definitely one of the design goals/constraints.

Ahh...I was using 1.2, and that explains my problem.
I think I see how to do it now. Thanks!

I've added a release but don't see it in the project page. It shows up on the website front page, and when I click on it I can see via the breadcrumbs that it is under the right project.
I recall in the 1.2 version that there was a "scan for new releases" item in the menu, but I don't see that in 2.2
Am I missing something obvious? Does cron update it?
EDIT: I should add that the release is a file with a .ipk extension (not a zip or tar file). Is that a problem?
I figured it out. It was

It was because I upgraded.
I have to delete and recreate the projects made under 1.2
you mean re-create the releases, right? ;)
yeah, the upgrade path from 4.7.x-1.* to 4.7.x-2.* (and thereofre, 5.x-*) if you actually have releases in your system, is a confusing, undocumented mess. it's the main reason there's no offical 5.x-1.0 releases of project or project_issue yet. :( sorry. but, if you don't care, and you just want to delete and re-create, that works, too. ;)

No. Sorry if I wasn't clear.
No. Sorry if I wasn't clear. I had to delete the projects. No biggy, I was kinda only playing around anyways. I tried to delete the releases and recreate them but the release area of the project page just wouldn't show up.
I have one setup again and it's starting too look nice now though: http://tyrannozaurus.com/?q=project/scummvm
Thanks for your advice and info.
