  let's try this again without the typos...
  
  hi,
  
  i am now looking for help getting the final set of fixes to put into the 4.2.4 release. if you have them, please add a ticket[1] with details on how to reproduce the problem and the code to fix the problem (preferably in unified diff format -- on windows you can make unified diffs with subversion[2] or winmerge[3]).
  
  1. <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://vtiger.fosslabs.com/cgi-bin/trac.cgi/newticket">http://vtiger.fosslabs.com/cgi-bin/trac.cgi/newticket</a><!-- m -->
  2. <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://subversion.tigris.org/">http://subversion.tigris.org/</a><!-- m -->
  3. <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://winmerge.sourceforge.net/">http://winmerge.sourceforge.net/</a><!-- m -->
  
  you can check-out[4] the latest code once you have installed subversion or browse[5] it on the web.

  if you do not have fixes, then you can help find some. many bugs have been fixed in the trunk[6] (the tree that contains vtiger v5) and need to be split out and put into 4.2.x. when you find something, post message to this forum topic with a link to the changeset that fixes the problem and a description of the problem in a recent svn pull from the 4.2 branch. 4.2.2 was checked in on revision 2002 so anything after that is fair game to check for fixes.

  is there any plan to fix the installation for fedoracore3 ?
  gd 2.0.28 installation fails, and it is trying to install even though 2.0.33 is already installed.

  you should download the source and put that in your web space instead of trying to install the binaries on a distribution that already has it's own versions of what is required.
  
  by the way, what version of mysql and php are in fc3?

  fathi from vtiger france has generously contributed documentation on how to make patches with subversion and winmerge.

  then why have the bin for the fc distribution?
  there was no mysql installed and the php is 4.3.11-2.8
  the mysql from the bin seemed to have installed ok, no error message was given.

  there hasn't been a binary release for fc3, only one generic binary installer for linux.
  
  sorry, but i don't recommend using the binary installer and i don't support it. i suggest you use xampp 1.4.15 or the php, mysql & gd that comes with fc3.

  mike -
  
  how are you handling code contributions with 4.2.4? there are some contributions from fredy that i would like to see incorporated into the standard version such as the §visibledescriptions contribution found here:

  4.2.4 is in the last stages before release so i can't put in any features at this point.
  
  viewable descriptions are open for discussion in 4.2.5 though. i like the feature, but i'll have to make sure there is a consensus that it should be in that release.
  
  i don't want to make each release too big. and so far we have plans for some major changes in the translation handling (using gettext instead of a php array). there will be a 4.2.4rc3 in the next few days and then 4.2.4 will release next week.

  i can understand that. what would be the mechanism to make such contribution requests for 4.2.5 and track consensus?
