[Chameleon] RE: Upgrading

Will there be a source code bundle available for the update?  I started with
the non source package of Chameleon and the last time I tried to update the
site from CVS I had lots of trouble.

Hi Paul,

1) get the CVS version of Chameleon
2) get the CVS version of php_utils and copy the src part into common

If you have existing widgets created by yourself, it takes a little bit of
upgrading. If you have existing templates, you will need to do some little
upgrading as well.

I have attached my rough notes of this process.

Best regards,
Bart
