Best practice when upstream does not provide version number

I'm currently preparing a package for the game Dreamfall Chapters, unfortunately the Developer does not (yet) provide a Version number.
What is the best practice for this? Just count the releases and set epoch when they finally provide one themselves?
thanks in advance!

If you are missing a version number, you could use the date. Prefix it with "r" in case you want to avoid epoch when upstream decides to start versioning.
pkgver=r20140122
If you have another release on the same day, increment another subversion
pkgver=r20140122.1
Counting the releases by hand is poor practice (you could miss one). Do it only if upstream provides the count.
Edit: To tie the version stronger to the release, you can also add a part of the archive hash, e.g. +m###### with the first 6 characters of the md5sum.
pkgver=r20140122+m23df1e
Edit: r as prefix is better, thanks rumpelsepp.

  • Title number when played does not match button number . . .

    You don't have to delete the assets used in the timelines, just the timelines themselves. Put the assets into new timelines in the order you want. Re-link as necessary.
    >Seems like a poor design
    Can I ask why it's important to your design to have the timelines in a particular order? Some history before you answer:
    The timeline-ordering thing is mostly a carry-over from earlier versions. In older versions, each asset had to be in a separate timeline if you wanted to do a Play All function, yet retain the ability to have each chapter go back to a menu, like one would expect in performance videos like concerts. In essence, each timeline was a "chapter" of the overall program. Then, timeline ordering was more important because the author had to determine which "chapter" would play when the Next button on the remote control was pressed. Other workarounds appeared that made timeline ordering even in the earlier versions less important.
    In Encore 2.0 you can add multiple assets to a single timeline; you can set end actions for each chapter in a single timeline; you can create Chapter Playlists to play any chapters of a single timeline in any order; the Next button on the remote control will execute the end action of the timeline that is playing, giving the author full control over what timeline plays next.
    If all these new features don't get you the navigation that you need, then post back and maybe we can find a way to get the links set up the way you want.

  • When starting up Mail 7.3 does not provide a New Message window

    When starting up Mail 7.3 does not provide a New Message window as it always used to? Have I inadvertently turned something off?

    OOPs! My mistake; I meant New Viewer Window!
    The problem is that if I close the Mail window but leave Mail running in the background, the next time I click on Mail in the Dock, I do NOT get the New Viewer Window, just the Mail Menu on the Menu Bar. If I Quit Mail in that state and then start it up from the Dock, I also get on the Mail Menu.
    If, however, I Quit Mail when the Viewer Window is open, it will open up again with the New Viewer Window visible.
    In the past, I got the New Viewer Window whenever I clicked Mail in the Dock.
    Changing settings in System Preferences / General  doesn't make any difference.
    Not a huge problem, just an annoyance. Ran Permissions Repair; no change in the issue.
    Thanks for your response / attempt to help. Sorry again for the mistaken Window name.

    Select the file with one click, then go to File in the menu bar and select Compress...
    By the way Niel's post says control - click. This means click with the control key held down. It produces the same result as going to File in the menu bar and selecting Compress...

  • Best practices when making service requests

    Best practices when making service requests
    We've been working on moving our old services that were built with an different service request tool into RequestCenter and were wondering if anyone had any thoughts about best standards or practices for the new forms that they would be willing to share.  For example, one such standard might be that the customer - initiator information will always be displayed at the top of the request.
    Are there any other standardizations you could share that help lend consistency and provide improved readability for request forms?  Maybe someone has a design framework guide they would be willing to share?
    Thanks!

    Thanks for the comments and the book suggestion.
    We've been placing the customer information at the top because wanted the customer to review the information before subbmitng the form.  Our LDAP data is somewhat spotty and we want to make sure we have the right information when the form is submitted but I can see the advantages to placing it at the bottom as well.  I'll have to think that over more.
    Does anyone find tha certain fields work better than others?  For example, we've not had much

  • Asking the Bridge Team:  Bridge "working color space" setting when one does not have the Suite?

    Common sense tells me there is really no such thing as a
    "working color space" in Bridge, because
    Bridge is not an image editor, just a browser
    Therefore, this may turn out to be a purely academic question; but that doesn't keep my curiosity from forcing me to ask it anyway. ;)
    Is there a way to set the Bridge
    "color settings" when one does not have the suite?
    The only Adobe program I keep up to date is Photoshop, so I've never had the suite. My version of Photoshop is 11 (CS4) and I run updated
    (not upgraded) versions of Adobe Acrobat 7.x, Illustrator 10.x and InDesign 2.x. Consequently, the Synchronize color settings command is not available to me.
    It seems to me that Bridge is behaving like a proper color-managed browser (e.g. Firefox with color management enabled), in that it displays tagged image files correctly and assumes sRGB for untagged image files. This normally works fine.
    But what if I wanted Bridge to assume my
    Photoshop color working space for untagged images
    so that it behaves the same as Photoshop? I'm just curious, as I deal with a minuscule, practically negligible amount of untagged files.
    My reason for bringing it up now is that I don't recall this being explicitly mentioned in forum replies when users inquire about color settings in Bridge. A recent post regarding Version Cue in the Photoshop Macintosh forum got me thinking about this. Just wanting to make sure that I'm right in my assumption that
    there is really no such thing as a
    "working color space" in Bridge, because Bridge is not an image editor, just a browser.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Ramón,
    Thanks for sharing the outcome of your tests. However, I may have found a bug/exception to Bridge's colour management policy!
    It appears that CMYK EPS photoshop files are not colour managed in Adobe Bridge, even if they contain an embedded ICC profile.
    I've tried every combination in the EPS 'Save As' dialogue box, so it doesn't seem to be an issue with file encoding. Also, Bridge doesn't rely on the low-res preview that is held within the EPS itself.
    My guess is that Bridge is previewing the CMYK EPS with a Bridge-generated RGB image, but it's being displayed as monitor RGB (assigned) rather than colour managed (converted to monitor RGB). For most users the difference will be barely perceptible, but the problem became very noticeable when using Bridge to preview Newsprint CMYK images on a wide-gamut monitor (images that should have appeared muted really leapt off the screen!).
    How do I report this to the Colour Police at Adobe?!?

  • Quota deduction when EE has been inactive for more than 180 days / Advance quota days when employee does not have enough balance

    Dear experts,
    We have two requirements regarding to the "Anual leave" quota.
    1. Quota reduction when employee is inactive for more than 180 days
    2. Advance quota days when employeee does not have enough balance
    We have in place an "Anual Leave" quota related to a calendar year period, that gets generated dialy in time evaluation. This quota gets the employee entitlement from a set of rules that stored the corresponding balance in a period time type, that is the one that we defined in the customizing. This is working fine. The problems start when we try to incorporate the other two requirements.
    Regarding the first requirement, if the employee has been inactive for more than 180 days in a calendar year due to unpaid leave, we need to start quota reduction as follow,
    First, we need to clear the balance that was calculated above in the schema.
    Then, we need to calculate one leave day for every 20 days worked till the end of the year, considering as such, everyday the employee is expected to work, except days on which the employee has been absent on unpaid leave.
    For the second requirement we created a manual quota call "Advance Anual Leave". So, if the employee, wishes to take 20 working days holiday, but in his/her Anual Leave quota has only 10 days available, we have to create an "Advance Anual Leave" quota manualy for 10 days. When the quota for next year gets generated, we need to deduct these advanced 10 days from it. This deduction should stop the year after.
    The problem we are finding with these two requirements is that, due to the Anual Leave quota gets generated dialy, we can't get the balance right.
    Thanks in advance!
    Kind regards,
    Alex

  • Best practices when carry forward for audit adjustments

    Dear experts,
    I would like to know if someone can share his best practices when performing carry forward for audit adjustments.
    We are actually doing legal consolidation for one customer and we are facing one issue.
    The accounting team needs to pass audit adjustments around April-May for last year.
    So from January to April / May, the opening balance must be based on December closing of prior year.
    Then from May / June to December, the opening balance must be based on Audit closing of prior year.
    We originally planned to create two members for December period, XXXX.DEC and XXXX.AUD
    Once the accountants would know their audit closing balance, they would have to input it on the XXXX.AUD period and a business rule could compute the difference between the closing of AUD and DEC periods and store the result on an opening flow.
    The opening flow hierarchy would be as follow:
    F_OPETOT (Opening balance Total)
        F_OPE (Opening balance from December)
        F_OPEAUD (Opening balance from the difference between closing balance of Audit and December periods)
    Now, assume that we are in October, but for any reason, the accountant run a carry forward for February, he is going to impact the opening balance because at this time (October), we have the audit adjustments.
    How to avoid such a thing? What are the best practices in this case?
    I guess it is something that you may have encounter if you did a consolidation project.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    Cookman and I have been arguing about this since the paleozoic era. Here's my logic for capturing everything.
    Less wear and tear on the tape and the deck.
    You've got everything on the system. Can't tell you how many times a client has said "I know that there was a better take." The only way to disabuse them of this notion is to look at every take. if it's not on the system, you've got to spend more time finding the tape, and adding "wear and tear on the tape and the deck." And then there's the moment where you need to replace the audio for one word from another take. You can quickly check all the other takes (particularly if you've done a thorough job logging the material - see below)_.
    Once it's on the system, you still need to log and learn the material. You can scan thru material much faster once it's captured. Jumping around the material is much easier.
    There's no question that logging the material before you capture makes you learn the material in a more thorough way, but with enough selfdiscipline, you can learn the material as thoroughly once it's been captured.

  • SAP NetWeaver CE 7.1 EHP1 does not support version 1.5 JCA?

    Hi,
    I've been following the documentation of SAP NetWeaver CE 7.1 EHP1 regarding creation of a version 1.5 resource adapter. When I finally got to "Add/Remove projects" in the server view to test my adapter, I get this error:
    The server does not support version 1.5 of the J2EE Connector module specification
    Is this true? Then why does the documentation explain how to do it?

    Hi Johan,
    I agree with you that this does not seem clear enough throughout the Resource Adapters documentation.
    Generally speaking about the Developer Studio, there are two equivalent options to add your project (be it JCA, EJB, Web, JPA, etc.) to an EAR project:
    While creating your project, you can specify that you want it to be added to an EAR project - either a new one or an existing one (you can create the new EAR project also in the meantime, while creating your JCA project). This is done using the "Add your project to an EAR" checkbox and the relevant dropdown list and button...
    Create your project. Then create a new EAR project and specify which projects you want to be included in the EAR.
    As I promised, we will improve that part of the documentation for the next release.
    Thanks again, and best regards,
    Yordan

  • Best practice when using Tangosol with an app server

    Hi,
    I'm wondering what is the best practice when using Tangosol with an app server (Websphere 6.1 in this case). I've been able to set it up using the resource adapter, tried using distributed transactions and it appears to work as expected - I've also been able to see cache data from another app server instance.
    However, it appears that cache data vanishes after a while. I've not yet been able to put my finger on when, but garbage collection is a possibility I've come to suspect.
    Data in the cache survives the removal of the EJB, but somewhere later down the line it appear to vanish. I'm not aware of any expiry settings for the cache that would explain this (to the best of my understanding the default is "no expiry"), so GC came to mind. Would this be the explanation?
    If that would be the explanation, what would be a better way to keep the cache from being subject to GC - to have a "startup class" in the app server that holds on to the cache object, or would there be other ways? Currently the EJB calls getCacheAdapter, so I guess Bad Things may happen when the EJB is removed...
    Best regards,

    Hi Gene,
    I found the configuration file embedded in coherence.jar. Am I supposed to replace it and re-package coherence.jar?
    If I put it elsewhere (in the "classpath") - is there a way I can be sure that it has been found by Coherence (like a message in the standard output stream)? My experience with Websphere is that "classpath" is a rather ...vague concept, we use the J2CA adapter which most probably has a different class loader than the EAR that contains the EJB, and I would rather avoid to do a lot of trial/error corrections to a file just to find that it's not actually been used.
    Anyway, at this stage my tests are still focused on distributed transactions/2PC/commit/rollback/recovery, and we're nowhere near 10,000 objects. As a matter of fact, we haven't had more than 1024 objects in these app servers. In the typical scenario where I've seen objects "fade away", there has been only one or two objects in the test data. And they both disappear...
    Still confused,

  • How to avoid output file and error lines when condition does not match

    Hi Experts
    A customer want to send purchase order files to several vendors and each vendor has their own requirement to content and file format. I have prepared scenarios for each vendor and a template is (conditionally) called when CardCode matches. It works fine, - PO file is generated when CardCode matches, but error lines are written to SAP B1 Control Center each time CardCode does not match the one defined in a scenario (100 or more times per day). Problem is that these error lines does not get automatic deleted. Conditional processing are made in this way:
    Result Message in SAP B1 Control Center when CardCode does not match:
    I tried to avoid an error line in SAP B1 Control Center when CardCode does not match in this way:
    Then no error lines are written to SAP B1 Control Center, but an output file is generated each time (order file when CardCode matches and an empty file when CardCode does not match).
    Any suggestions on how to avoid both errors types (error lines in SAP B1 Control Center and empty output files)?
    Or - can lines in SAP B1 Control Center be automatic deleted?

    Hi Steen,
    using <b1im_skip> should be the right approach, if you're working with B1 OUTBOUND.
    Following extract form the B1i help describes the usage to skip the outbound processing:
    1.1 Skipping Outbound Processing
    If you do not want to hand over the message to the receiver system, the scenario step can create a special tag that indicates to generic processing in the integration framework to skip the message processing.
    Add the following to the final transformation atom (atom0):
    <b1im_skip xmlns= ”” info=”my info” msglog=”true” msgout="yes">
    If the integration framework skips the message, it puts the message log information to the Filtered section, if the message log is switched on. The result message contains the Message skipped by vBIU logic information.
    info
    To display an individual message, define it using the info attribute.
    msglog
    If you want to avoid an entry in the message log, introduce the msglog attribute and set it to false.
    msgout
    To display the skip information in the Success section of the message log, use the msgout attribute and set it to yes.
    In case you don't want any MsgLogEntry in case of a skipped message, please enter the following in final atom0:
    <xsl:template name="transform">
    <xsl:attribute name="pltype">xml</xsl:attribute>
    <xsl:choose>
    <xsl:when test="$msg/BOM/BO/Documents/row/CardCode=&apos;C20000&apos;">

    That is, just because there are neat things like drop-down
    text, marquees, and such, doesn't mean you should use them.
    Stick to the basic HTML fonts and colors (use the
    w3schools web site for all
    things HTML and CSS.
    Instead of styles, create your lists by selecting Normal
    paragraphs and formatting with the Bullet and Number toolbar
    buttons.
    Keep your tables as simple as possible (try not to nest them
    and have all sorts of row and column spans, and try to avoid lists
    and figures, if you can). Also, break up very long tables into
    functional groupings with introductory headings.
    Use

    Hello paddyrb154,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with your purchased movie in iTunes on your iMac.  It sounds like iTunes thinks the movie is on your computer, but it is not located in the iTunes Media folder. 
    For an issue like this, I recommend deleting the movie from iTunes and downloading it from the iTunes Store again.  Use these steps to delete the movie:
    Mac or PC
    Launch iTunes.
    From the Library pop-up menu, choose Movies.
    Click Movies in the navigation bar.
    Click the movie you want to delete.
    Press the Delete key on your keyboard.
    In iTunes 11, the movie cover art will remain visible, but a cloud icon will appear on it to allow you to download the item again (in countries that support this).
    How to delete content you've downloaded from the iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, or Mac App Store
