Simon, BTW SystemExxception() is now a multi-instance pebble installation, running pebble 1.6.1. I've got another blog on that site from which I'm using the enclosures to publish music (and remove all the non-technical content from SystemExxception()). Thanks for the work on Pebble.

No problem! That's really cool and a great way to distribute original material. I look forward to reading about your experiences with RSS enclosures. :-)

I've been running Pebble since 1.3 and I just upgraded to 1.6 recently and I'm seeing a lot of exceptions being thrown which eventually wedges the Tomcat 5 instance. So to troubleshoot I'd like to attach the source to the instance and debug, but I don't know how to get the correct source attached to my Pebble instance. How do I get the correct source?

Last but not least, it would be nice if you had a "how to upgrade from version x to version y" section in the installation notes.

You can grab the source for Pebble 1.6 by doing the following:

  cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/pebble login 
  cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/pebble checkout -r v1_6_0 pebble

When prompted for a password, just press enter (there is no password).

I have started doing upgrade instructions (see here) but I still need to do a 1.5 to 1.6 guide and of course maintain it going forward. Hopefully theme upgrades won't be so hard in the future now that things are becoming more established!

I think you need more than just Themes: something is screwy with Permalinks and Catagories upgrading from 1.3 -> 1.6. I believe these are the source of problems trying to bring my old content forward from 1.3

Feel free to raise an issue in JIRA with the exceptions and I'll take a look.

I hope to post a patch solution to JIRA for you, Simon: it's the least I can do for all your hard work. Thanks!

Any idea when you'll be making a theme conversion guide available? I've been running 1.5.1 with a custom theme on one test machine, with 1.6.1 on another test machine and I'm trying to work out what changes I need to make to get the custom theme to work on the new version... I'm sure I'll get it sorted eventually but a few pointers as to what has changed (other than the obvious rightnav/sidebar) would be useful.

Would it be possible for you to send me your theme? That way I could convert it for you and use this as the basis for a conversion guide.

That would be great - I'll email it over now...

Well so far so good. The issue with enclosures seems to be the client software I think. Bloglines knows when an enclosure is present and puts a link.

All the 'podcasting' client software I've look at so far (I settled on Nimiq) basically gets the enclosures but completely ignores the text description. Which is a pity because then people automatically downloading stuff just get the content in the ID3 tag of the mp3. I think at least the clients should download the content text and put it in a .txt file next to the mp3.

Aside from that I am thinking how to best integrate pebble ant tasks and enclosures into a continuous integration and test setup I am doing for a client at the moment. This would be set up so that at the end of each test build, the ant script publishes both the result summary and the artifacts that were used to produced the summary onto an internal pebble blog. A great way to build releases too I think!

Sorry that I may posted a wrong place; I just installed pebble to my linux server; but I cannot login to pebble for doing administration task, I already changed the tomcat-users.xml for pebble. I checked for few time. Why?

Thanks to Simon Brown's excellent Pebble 1.6.1 Blogging Software, 'My cummerbund fell in the toilet' now supports the RSS 2.0 enclosure tag, which I will be using to podcast new original music ...
