[Tracker-discuss] Getting Started

[Paul Dubois]

Roundup of course has two parts: the runtime and the template. Both get
modified when Richard improves Roundup. For example, there might be an error
on one of the classic template html pages or in a detector, or the runtime
supports some new feature to take advantage of.

Truth be told I have only once had to modify the runtime. However, like most
people I started with some instance of the classic template, and modified
it, and there are LOTS of times where new roundup releases have changes to
the classic template, often required to match the runtime. But unless you
use source code control, you don't know what they are.

If you started with the demo tracker you started with a slightly modified
version of 'classic'.
I'm suggesting that it is this classic template we need to start with so
that when new versions of it come out we're ok. I think in principle one
should track the release runtime too but it probably isn't necessary.
